Written for readers who care about bodily autonomy and better birth experiences, this paperback brings feminist thinking into the labour ward and helps you take an active role in decisions about your body and baby. What this book is and who it’s for: This is a practical, evidence-informed manifesto aimed at pregnant people, parents-to-be, doulas, maternity professionals and anyone interested in reproductive justice. It reframes childbirth as a feminist issue — one that touches on control, agency and human rights — while offering real-world tools for planning and speaking up during pregnancy and birth.
