Counterpoint Bodies on the Line: At the Front Lines of the
Book SynopsisAs the courts betray us and our leaders fail us, only we can keep each other safe. In this powerful, empathetic look at abortion clinic escorting, “one of the most under-covered and crucial, lifesaving, rigorous forms of activism out there” (Rebecca Traister), Lauren Rankin offers real hope—and a real call to action for a post-Roe America. Incisive and eye-opening, Bodies on the Line makes a clear case that the right to an abortion is a fundamental part of human dignity. And now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v Wade, the stakes facing us all if that right disappears have never been higher.Clinic escorts—everyday volunteers who shepherd patients safely inside to receive care—are fighting on the front lines by replacing hostility with humanity. Prepared to stand up and protect abortion access as they have for decades, even in the face of terrorism and violence, clinic escorts live—and have even died—to ensure that abortion remains not only accessible but a basic human right. Their stories have never been told—until now.With precision and passion, Lauren Rankin traces the history and evolution of this movement to tell a broader story of the persistent threats to safe and legal abortion access, and the power of individuals to stand up and fight back. Deeply researched, featuring interviews with clinic staff, patients, experts, and activists—plus the author’s own experience as a clinic escort—Bodies on the Line reframes the “abortion wars,” highlighting the power of people to effect change amid unimaginable obstacles, and the unprecedented urgency of channeling that power.

Sounds True Inc Making Sense of Menopause: Harnessing the Power
Book SynopsisIt's time to change the way we think about menopause. Both medicine and popular culture fixate on menopause as a decline of women's bodies and minds?without recognizing the powerful gifts that come to us in our elder years. "Nature did not create us to unravel and diminish in the prime of our lives," says Susan Willson. With Making Sense of Menopause, this renowned women's health practitioner offers a powerful guide to experiencing perimenopause and menopause as a natural gateway into the next vital, exciting, and meaningful phase of our lives. In this inspiring and highly practical guide, Willson dismantles the cultural falsehoods we've been taught about menopause and illuminates: Menopause as metamorphosis?how the changes in our bodies literally transform us into new women with essential roles to play in our culture How the biological arc of a woman's life unfolds toward menopause?and how our earliest experiences inform the menopause we will have Practical guidance for self-care?including sleep, nutrition, stress management, exercise, and social connections Sexuality and relationships?deepening our emotional bonds and expanding our capacity to give and receive pleasure Becoming the Wise Woman?stepping into the essential role of an elder in our youth-obsessed world Susan Willson has found that when women are presented with a positive, empowering perspective on menopause, something extraordinary occurs: "We find that we want to do the developmental work of midlife. We want to harness the power we feel rising up as we are finally able to stand for ourselves. We want to give our gifts." With Making Sense of Menopause, this compelling author offers a much-needed guide for women making the physical, emotional, and spiritual transition to their wisdom years.

With Black Women’s Wellness, award-winning obstetrician-gynecologist Dr. Melody T. McCloud has written an indispensable and empowering guide to help Black women lead happier, healthier lives. Despite technological advances, insurance, education, and medical access, Black women still carry the highest incidence of and worst prognosis for many conditions - such as cancer, heart disease, and maternal mortality.

With personal anecdotes and a wealth of knowledge, Dr. McCloud addresses all of these unique issues and more, so you can take charge of your health as never before - including navigating and advocating for yourself within the medical system. Written in an easy-to-understand, conversational tone, Black Women’s Wellness is filled with professional medical advice, sexology, sociology, psychology, dashes of pop culture, and doses of personal responsibility.

Penguin Books Ltd In the Shadow of the Eighth: My Forty Years
Book SynopsisIn over forty years in medicine - seven of these as Master of the National Maternity Hospital - obstetrician Peter Boylan was at the births of more than 6,000 babies. He saw women and families at their most vulnerable, their most joyous, and sometimes their most heart-broken.In the Shadow of the Eighth is the story of how a young doctor without strong views on abortion became convinced that women should be trusted to make the right decisions for their lives - and how he then did everything in his power to bring about a situation where they could.More than that, it is an engaging account of working in one of medicine's most satisfying specialities, a revealing behind-the-scenes insight into what it's like trying to make change happen, and a fascinating portrait of a society in transition.Lively, gripping, sometimes enraging but always compassionate, Peter Boylan's story is vital and encouraging reading for these turbulent times.'A comprehensive, insightful and often shocking social history of the country' Irish Independent'A hero to many (including me)' @MarianKeyes'Both personal and political ... a very important history of recent events that have utterly changed Ireland's social and political landscapes' Irish Times'A fascinating story' Matt Cooper, Today FM'The book is fabulous' Pat Kenny, NewstalkTrade ReviewA hero to many (including me) -- @MarianKeyesBoth personal and political ... a very important history of recent events that have utterly changed Ireland's social and political landscapes * Irish Times *A fascinating story -- Matt Cooper * Today FM *The book is fabulous -- Pat Kenny * Newstalk *A comprehensive, insightful and often shocking social history of the country * Irish Independent *Compelling [and] compassionate book * RTÉ Guide *

Murdoch Books Period Queen: Life hack your cycle and own your
Book Synopsis'This will start a revolution for women.' CONSTANCE HALL As young girls, most of us were given the talk about how to manage our periods. It's the beginning of a tedious bloody grind, one of the last great taboos. But the truth is, the menstrual cycle has benefits - big, fantastic, daily, monthly, even lifelong, benefits. Every month, you have four hormonal phases that keep coming around. Each phase bears its own gifts and ways of making us feel: a time to dream, a time to do, a time to give and a time to take. Once you know what these phases are, you can predict them, plan for them and use them over and over again. In fact, harnessing your period superpowers will make you unstoppable (until you choose to stop, that is). Period Queen takes the worst thing about being a woman and turns it into the best thing. Author and period preacher Lucy Peach urges us to stop treating periods like nature's consolation prize for being a woman, banishing the notion that hormones reduce us to being random emotional rollercoasters. Become an expert in recognising what you need at different times of the month and learn how every cycle gives you a chance to cultivate the most important relationship of your life: the one with your precious self. It's pretty bloody amazing.Trade Review'This will start a revolution for women. Never have I read anything like this.

Amberjack Publishing Girl Boner
Book SynopsisIn a culture where female empowerment is used to sell everything from sex toys to soap, most sex education continues to bypass pleasure.

In Girl Boner: The Good Girl's Guide to Sexual Empowerment , August McLaughlin offers an inclusive, unfiltered blend of personal narrative and practical tips on relationships, solo play, journaling, gender issues, and more. From the perks of 'Jilling off' to the 7 types of 'gasms, Girl Boner will 'empower you to own your sexual self and enjoy … your whole life a great deal more.'

Catapult Insomnia
Book Synopsis“An insomniac’s ideal sleep aid—and that’s a compliment. With her collage of ruminations about sleeplessness, [Benjamin] promises no real cure . . . Her slim book is what the doctor ordered.”—The Atlantic Insomnia is on the rise. Villainous and unforgiving, it’s the enemy o f energy and focus, the thief of our repose. But can insomnia be an ally, too, a validator of the present moment, of edginess and creativity? Marina Benjamin takes on her personal experience of the condition—her struggles with it, her insomniac highs, and her dawning awareness that states of sleeplessness grant us valuable insights into the workings of our unconscious minds. Although insomnia is rarely entirely welcome, Benjamin treats it less as an affliction than as an encounter that she engages with and plumbs. She adds new dimensions to both our understanding of sleep (and going without it) and of night, and how we perceive darkness. Along the way, Insomnia trips through illuminating material from literature, art, philosophy, psychology, pop culture, and more. Benjamin pays particular attention to the relationship between women and sleep—Penelope up all night, unraveling her day’s weaving for Odysseus; the Pre-Raphaelite artists’ depictions of deeply sleeping women; and the worries that keep contemporary females awake. Insomnia is an intense, lyrical, witty, and humane exploration of a state we too often consider only superficially. “This is the song of insomnia, and I shall sing it,” Marina Benjamin declares.
