Recs if you like Vagina Obscura: An Anatomical Voyage...

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.

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.

Different kinds of non-fiction books about gender, feminism, and related topics. People like black women or neurodivergent women are twice or more marginalised, and often it's not clear whether treatment was due to (for example) skin colour or perceived gender, so I'll add some books about other kinds of marginalisation as well. I haven't read all books (yet); if one is problematic, please tell me so in a comment!

This podcast might not actually kill you, but it covers so many things that can.
