Do you remember when you first read “Our Bodies, Ourselves”? Tell us your story!OBOS means being a nine-year-old girl and sneaking to flip through the contents of my mother’s copy. I recall seeing a drawing of a woman growing pubic hair and using a tampon. I remember being horrified and intrigued at the same time. It’s been many years since I’ve thought about that book but it would be 15 more years before I could muster up the courage to use a tampon.
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.
