Creative Writers on Women's Reproductive Health

About this book

SO HEAVY A WEIGHT: CREATIVE WRITERS ON WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH is a powerful anthology that shatters the silence surrounding women's experiences with reproductive healthcare. Through a compelling collection of essays and hybrid nonfiction, this book is a kaleidoscope of perspectives on a topic shrouded in stigma despite the political conversation it initiates. From the raw vulnerability of miscarriage to the realities of menstruation, SO HEAVY A WEIGHT delves into the full spectrum of women's reproductive health care. Unflinchingly personal essays by a variety of exceptional writers explore the complexities of abortion, the navigation of a constantly changing body, and the journey from sexual assault to sexual advocacy. This tapestry of stories is woven with courage and resiliency, fostering understanding and belonging and empowering readers to reclaim their own reproductive health narratives. Contributors include Abigail Thomas, Emma Bolden, Melissa Anderson, Jill Talbot, Marcia Aldrich, Chloe Caldwell, Sonya Huber, and many more.
