Boston Women's Health Book Collective

The Boston Women's Health Book Collective is a group of women who came together in the early 1970s to empower women by providing information about their health and bodies. They are best known for their book, "Our Bodies, Ourselves," which offers comprehensive guidance on women's health issues, reproductive rights, and sexuality. The collective emphasizes the importance of self-education and advocates for women's autonomy in healthcare decisions. Their work has significantly influenced women's health activism, promoting better access to healthcare and challenging societal norms regarding women's bodies and health rights.
