Translating “Our Bodies, Ourselves”

“The progressive social movements of the last half-century produced millions of pages of print, from manifestos to journalism to novels, but nothing as influential as "Our Bodies, Ourselves". The feminist women’s health manual is the American left’s most valuable written contribution to the world. This claim is meant to be provocative, of course, but it’s true. The publication of an excellent book about the book, Kathy Davis’s "The Making of Our Bodies, Ourselves: How Feminism Travels Across Borders", makes this a good time to examine its impact.”
