A landmark book on the womb - its history, its present and the
possibilities for its future - by the bestselling author of Hard
Pushed: A Midwife's Story 'A gripping exploration of the science of
the uterus, the politics of medicine and the future of reproductive
freedom' New Statesman 'Page for page, I may not have ever learned
more from a book' Rob Delaney, author of A Heart that Works 'It
will change the way you think about bodies forever' Rachel Clarke,
author of Dear Life 'Empowerment in book form' Maxine Mei-Fung
Chung, author of What Women Want 'A phenomenal book' Elinor
Cleghorn, author of Unwell Women The womb is the most miraculous
organ in the body - with the power to bring life or cause death; to
yield joy or pain - yet most of us know almost nothing about it. In
this book, midwife and bestselling author Leah Hazard sets out on a
journey to explore the rich past, complex present and dynamic
future of the uterus. She speaks to the Californian doctor who
believes women deserve a period-free life; walks in the footsteps
of the Scottish woman whose Caesarean section changed childbirth
forever; uncovers America's long history of forced and coercive
sterilisation; observes uterine transplant surgery in Sweden and
takes a very personal dive into the world of 'womb wellness'.
Written with wisdom, warmth and nuance, and combining the author's
years of experience as a midwife with medical history, scientific
discovery and journalistic inquiry, Womb is an extraordinary
exploration of a woefully under-researched and misunderstood organ.
Above all, the book reveals that the uterus is more than the sum of
its biological parts: it influences all our lives in the
twenty-first century, and how we celebrate, medicate and legislate
the womb might yet control where we go from here.
