The Girl Who Was Plugged In by James Tiptree, Jr.:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

Remarkable novella about an ungainly girl who was given a chance to have a perfect body. Or to control and feel herself to be in it. I found a copy online at The Girl Who Was Plugged In. Select an invention:

Eccentric Projection
Remote manipulation of a body not your own.

Placental Decanters
Perfect human bodies with control implants for remote use.
