Wayward Women: Sexuality and Agency in a New Guinea Society by Holly Wardlow

5.0

I loved this book. The subjectivity of what it is to have full agency and personhood is told poignantly by Wardlow. Jumping the fence, negatively presenting one's agency and the plight of the passenger woman helped my poor Western mind understand New Guinean society and the role women play in social reproduction.
