What's Between Your Legs?

What could possibly be more exciting than publishing your own book? Being included in a powerful upcoming anthology that shatters the silence around reproductive health by collecting women’s voices, experiences and words!

“In a world where even saying the word “vagina” can feel taboo, Between Our Legs breaks the silence surrounding gynecological health,” Caroline Beuley, one of the editors of the book, writes in her amazing Substack.

“In the United States, access to good gynecological care is under attack, and there is pressure to stay silent on topics of gynecological healthcare now more than ever,” Beuley continues. “The essays in Between in Our Legs exist in opposition to that. They are written to share crucial information, spark essential conversations, and emphasize the necessity of access to good gynecological care…”

My birth trauma story is included in this important collection at a time when the words “women,” “gender” and “diversity” are BANNED from federal grant applications, this anthology could not be more urgent. It reminds us why women’s stories are important, why we must document, and be loud about our pain. Why is that important? Because women’s stories are data, our pain is information.

The Pain Gap doesn’t exists in a silo— it exists alongside the knowledge and credibility gaps: Very little research is done including women in medical clinical trials, and even when women have all the evidence in the world, we still are not believed about our bodies or our symptoms.

“Between Our Legs serves as a catalyst for difficult conversations,” Beuley says. “…As reproductive rights and maternal healthcare are stripped away in state after state, it’s urgent that our voices be heard, elevated, and addressed. The consequences for not doing so can be fatal.”
