Between Our Legs: Silence-Breaking Personal Narratives on Gynecological Health
Editat de Justine Payton, Caroline Beuley Cuvânt înainte de Mikki Kendallen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 oct 2026 – vârsta ani
Between Our Legs serves as a catalyst for difficult conversations. It illustrates the necessity of not just having access to basic gynecological care, but good, equitable, patient-centered care. Care that sees the patient as a whole person, not solely as someone capable of making a baby. As reproductive rights and maternal healthcare are stripped away in state after state, it’s urgent that our voices be heard, elevated, and addressed. The consequences for not doing so can be fatal.

Recenzii
“An intimate, wide-ranging, and riveting collection that should be required reading for everyone in this country.”—Melissa Febos, national bestselling author, Girlhood and The Dry Season: A Memoir of Pleasure in a Year Without Sex
“The stories in this collection, each one so generously told, are educational, yes, but also a powerful embodied window into understanding the violence and beauty of our time.”—Rachel Kauder Nalebuff, editor, Our Red Book: Intimate Histories of Periods, Growing, and Changing
“Reading this anthology felt like meeting a long-lost auntie—warm and wise, full of life-truths both urgent and intimate, thoughtful and wry. Rarely have I encountered essays that speak to my life and the lives of those around me in such immediate, visceral ways. Beautifully curated, this anthology is both timely and timeless and belongs on the shelf of not just any person with a uterus, but anyone who loves somebody with one.”—Erica Berry, author, Wolfish: Wolf, Self, and the Stories We Tell About Fear

Descriere
In a world where even saying the word “vagina” can feel taboo, Between Our Legs breaks the silence surrounding gynecological health. Featuring essays by award-winning authors Nina de Gramont, Nafissa Thompson-Spires, and Jessica Hendry Nelson, as well as by practicing medical experts, this collection explores topics ranging from childbirth, menopause, abortion, endometriosis, and PCOS to yeast and urinary tract infections, while contending with the shame, frustrations, and stigmas that women, nonbinary, and trans individuals navigate when searching for basic care.
