Description
Making Sense of Knowledge investigates the intersection of feminist thought and reproductive rights activism in Greece during the transformative period of 1974–1986. Through the lens of feminist epistemologies, Evangelia Chordaki analyzes how women in the birth control movement constructed, validated, and disseminated knowledge about their bodies and reproductive choices.
The book challenges conventional understandings of scientific authority by demonstrating how activists drew upon emotional experiences, collective wisdom, and embodied knowledge to inform their advocacy. Chordaki situates this Greek case study within broader conversations about how marginalized groups create alternative frameworks of understanding. By connecting histories of emotions and the senses to epistemological questions, she reveals how feminist activists fundamentally reshaped debates around reproductive autonomy, medical expertise, and women’s agency during a critical moment in Greek history.
