“Our Bodies, Ourselves” has long been referred to as the “women’s health bible.” The most recent edition (right), published in 2011, was selected by Library Journal as one of the best consumer health books of the year.
In addition to providing evidence-based information reviewed by medical experts, all of OBOS’s books address political, economic and social forces that shape women’s health. Each title also includes personal stories and experiences, along with resources for additional support and political engagement.
