[From the Archives of Our Bodies, Our Blog](/blog)# It makes the cut

By Our Bodies Ourselves • February 3, 2011

Please note: This entry -- originally posted at [Our Bodies, Our Blog](https://ourbodiesourselves.org/blog) -- has not been updated since the publication date listed above.

Submitted by: Boston University School of Public Health graduate  
  
I just read the commencement speech [Judy Norsigian's talk to the BUSPH graduates in May 2007] and I actually own the 1976 version of "Our Bodies, Ourselves" that George contributed to and that she refers to. Yuval bought it for me in a used book store in Israel when we were first together. It is fantastic.  
  
I have moved it from Israel to Utah to Boston to Israel and back to Utah. Not many books made all those cuts.  
  
*In this series, readers [tell their stories](/history/reading-our-bodies-ourselves/ "Reading Our Bodies, Ourselves") about their experiences with the book and its impact on their lives. [View more stories](/category/our-bodies-ourselves/readers-stories/).*
