Womb: The Inside Story of Where We All Began by Leah Hazard
3.75
Would still recommend as a feminist text and an introduction to women's struggles with reproductive healthcare. There's just a bit of a book-reader mismatch since I'm a doctor and also a feminist which renders this book somewhat redundant in some aspects and also quite a bit sketchy in the more medical nitty-gritty (I have THOUGHTS for almost every chapter lol). I did appreciate the bits of OBGYN medical history outlined here. And with its intentions and advocacy, this book definitely has merit.
some throwaway thoughts: "uterine activity" is not a 'cold' clinical term like literally what do you want us to call it?? also painless preterm dilatations is NOT the same as cervical insufficiency- medically the former gives you no significant information.
