Recs if you like It's Not Hysteria: Everything You Need to Know About Your Reproductive Health (But Were Never Told)...

Because apparently women’s bodies are still elective in Science 101! Non-Fiction all about women's (all variations) health and the lack of research behind it.

These book covers all have a certain anatomical resemblance in common, from subtle and subversive to in-your-face. These books span non-fiction and fiction, menstrual health, desire, taboo, dystopia, and more.

This list is inspired by a day when a few people had updates involving Tampa and I was like, “wait, is that…?”

If you're looking to read something that will radicalize you...this is the list for you. Signed, your fave community organizer

Books about sexual & reproductive justice + health. Including abortion, contraception, pregnancy, childbirth, kink, sexuality, STIs, and more. The term reproductive justice is from SisterSong and is inherently an intersectional, political, and affirming framework. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled perspectives highlighted.

A variety of books on female health, including educational books on the menstrual cycle, fertility, sex, pregnancy, and menopause. Where some books go deeper into endometriosis, PCOS and/or adenomyosis. As well as books covering the misogyny and discrimination within women’s healthcare currently and throughout history. The righteous feministic anger we feel towards the mistreatment, lack of research, and utter disrespect we face as women in medicine. Also cookbooks for those interested.
