I was never a star in being a feminist, although it is my lifestyle. I read many feminist books in the 1970s, followed the trend and lived in a commune of women only in New Haven.

The book, "Our Bodies, Ourselves," impacted my life as a book that overcomes fear to admit you are a woman alone, with many morale and ethical family values that confine us and can impair health rights.

It is a book that gave me an approach to health rights and to seeking how to feel well and accept myself.

In this series, readers tell their stories about their experiences with the book and its impact on their lives. You can view more stories and submit your own.
