[![](https://assets.ourbodiesourselves.org/images/blog-archive/parkbridges2-140x140.jpg "parkbridges")](https://assets.ourbodiesourselves.org/images/blog-archive/parkbridges2.jpg)OBOS was born in 1971, just as I entered womanhood and turned 14. It became my go-to resource for any questions I couldn’t ask out loud. I had no idea it was as revolutionary a book as it was at the time. I’m not sure where I would have turned to get the straight talk and detailed answers it provided!  
  
*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/).*
