This paper proposes that the phenomenology of the female body is useful for feminist political activism in three respects: For making the personal-nonpolitical political, for providing a fine need interpretation, and for associating people between inside and outside academic world. Firstly, the phenomenology of the female body will be captured as what Nancy Fraser calls a dialogical, participatory activity of need interpretation by those who have a female body and as an activity that politicizes the neglected female bodily experiences. Secondly, this interpretation will be clarified by comparing the phenomenology of the female body with a Japanese research activity called Tōjisya Kenkyū (sufferer's first-person study) that is often regarded as a kind of phenomenological research and prevails among those who suffer from disabilities and other life problems. Thirdly, the case of DARC (Drug Addiction Rehabilitation Center) women's house will specifically draw a concrete picture of how phenomenology of the body will work for the political empowerment of women inside and outside the academic world.
