The books below were written either by the Boston Women's Health Book Collective or by founding members of the collective.
We encourage you to support feminist and independent bookstores and booksellers by purchasing our books from them! You can also purchase our books online from Powells.com, an independent bookstore, or from Amazon.com (by following either of these links, a percentage of any sales you make will be donated to Our Bodies Ourselves).
Please note that most of our books are available at a discount to health clinics and certain other nonprofit organizations. Also, we are happy to provide any of our books, signed by founders or editorial team members, for a donation to OBOS of $150 or more.
