This book written by academics, critics and fellow practitioner features the 30 artists that were chosen for the WOWB or "Who Owns Women's Bodies?" Travelling Exhibit that toured Lipa City in Batangas, Vigan in Ilocos Sur, and the Cultural Center of the Philippines in Manila. The WOWB Exhibit is on its way to the key cities of Visayas and Mindanao in the last quarter of 2001.

This book is aimed be of help to students, researchers, artists, the academe and the non-museum/ gallery - going public who wish to enrich their knowledge, not only on the artists and their works, but above all, on gender issues. Furthermore, it provided a lively take-off point for discussion and debate on sexuality and reproductive health and rights.

Glossary, index and biographies(artists, editors and authors) are included.

Please note that a second edition of the book was published in 2005 after the completion of the touring exhibition, with a slight difference in content.
