Abstract:What is a uterus to a woman and to society? This article calls for a holistic reevaluation of how we perceive and what we expect from women's uteruses. We explore the powerful and deeply rooted cultural representations of women's uteruses as mere receptacles and the impact of such representations on biological categories, medical practices, and current policies. Considering controversies surrounding hysterectomies, cesarean sections, and uterus transplants, we elucidate ambivalent narratives that either promote an essentialist approach where the uterus is emblematic of womanhood, or imply that the uterus is a dispensable organ useless outside of reproduction.
