- Summary:
- "A groundbreaking investigation of the uterus--from birth to death, in sickness and in health, throughout history and into our possible future--from a midwife and acclaimed writer Leah Hazard."--Inside front jacket flap
- Every person on Earth began inside a uterus, but how much do we really understand about the womb? Hazard embarks on a journey in search of answers about the body's most miraculous and contentious organ. She tackles pressing questions, cultural prejudices that have made the uterus so poorly understood for centuries, and takes a fresh look at an organ that brings us pain and pleasure-- and has a larger impact than we ever thought possible. -- adapted from jacket
