Between Our Legs: Silence-Breaking Personal Narratives on Gynecological HealthJustine Payton (Editor)PaperbackIn a world where even saying the word “vagina” can feel taboo, Between Our Legs breaks the silence surrounding gynecological health. Featuring essays by award-winning authors Nina de Gramont, Nafissa Thompson-Spires, and Jessica Hendry Nelson, as well as by practicing medical experts, this collection explores topics ranging from childbirth, menopause, abortion, endometriosis, and PMOS to yeast and urinary tract infections, while contending with the shame, frustrations, and stigmas that women, nonbinary, and trans individuals navigate when searching for basic care.Between Our Legs serves as a catalyst for difficult conversations. It illustrates the necessity of not just having access to basic gynecological care, but good, equitable, patient-centered care. Care that sees the patient as a whole person, not solely as someone capable of making a baby. 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.
