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'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten with wisdom, warmth and nuance, and combining the author's years of experience as a midwife with medical history, scientific discovery and journalistic inquiry, \u003ci\u003eWomb\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hazard, Leah","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":49150609817939,"sku":"9780349015781","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/hazard-leah-leah-hazard-womb-2023-paperback-9780349015781-58021640241491.jpg?v=1727039836","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/leah-hazard-womb-2023-paperback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
