Why people recommend it

Our Bodies, Ourselves by the Boston Women's Health Book Collective and Judy Norsigian is a landmark feminist text that revolutionized women's health education and bodily autonomy. Roy Baumeister mentioned the text on Modern Wisdom in July 2022 while reflecting on the sexual revolution of his youth. Baumeister recalled how numerous books emerged during that era specifically to explain female sexuality to women, contrasting them with the relative lack of similar literature aimed at men. Furthermore, Robert Evans referenced the book on Behind the Bastards in April 2021 during an episode about a male doctor who redesigned vaginas. Evans identified the collective as the authors of the core feminist text and described how they actively distributed copies of a critical medical news article concerning an Ohio gynecologist's controversial surgery to over two hundred and fifty women's health organizations across the United States. Both podcasters acknowledged the profound cultural footprint of the publication.
