Years ago, I remember purchasing the book that finally answered so many questions for me I couldn’t believe it. I brought one for my friends because I wanted them to have the same knowledge base of questions we dare not ask others.  
  
*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/).*

Yes! I felt the same way when I discovered Our Bodies, Ourselves years ago. It was so refreshing to read and feel normal and not alone!   
  
  
  
I also just watched this amazing TED talk from another woman who seems to be paving a revolutionary path for women: http://youtu.be/s9QVq0EM6g4
