Womb: The Inside Story of Where We All Began
Leah Hazard"Page for page, I may not have ever learned more from a book.... Womb is a history book as well as a biology book but it's also an adventure & a celebration." —Rob Delaney, actor & author of A Heart That Works
A groundbreaking, triumphant investigation of the uterus—from birth to death, in sickness & in health, throughout history & into our possible future—from midwife & acclaimed writer Leah Hazard
The size of a clenched fist & the shape of a light bulb—with no less power & potential. Every person on Earth began inside a uterus, but how much do we really understand about the womb?
Bringing together medical history, scientific discoveries, & journalistic exploration, Leah Hazard embarks on a journey in search of answers about the body's most miraculous & contentious organ. We meet the people who have shaped our relationship with the uterus: doctors & doulas, yoni steamers & fibroid-tea hawkers, legislators who would regulate the organ’s very existence, & boundary-breaking researchers on the frontiers of the field.
With a midwife’s warmth & humor, Hazard tackles pressing questions: Is the womb connected to the brain? Can cervical crypts store sperm? Do hysterectomies affect sexual pleasure? How can smart tampons help health care? Why does endometriosis take so long to be diagnosed? Will external gestation be possible in our lifetime? How does gender-affirming hormone therapy affect the uterus? Why does medical racism impact reproductive healthcare?
