News of Revised Global Adaptations from Le Collectif Nos Corps Nous-mêmes

April 27, 2026

Many feminist groups from around the world have been translating and adapting "Our Bodies, Ourselves" for women in their own countries since the 1970s. Our Global Projects Committee stays in touch with global partners about their projects and how their adaptations of "Our Bodies, Ourselves" continue to serve as foundational resources for their communities.

The French adaptation of "Our Bodies Ourselves" from 1977 was one of the first global projects. Marie Hermann reports that OBOS global partner, Le Collectif Notre Corps, Nous-Mêmes, completely updated and published "Notre Corps, Nous-Mêmes" in 2020, and continues to use that new edition. The Collectif's current priorities are to update content on trans identity and LGBT+ issues.

In 2024, Le Collectif Notre Corps, Nous-Mêmes published a revised edition of "Nos Enfants Nous-mêmes" as well. They originally adapted this book in 1980 from Ourselves and Our Children. Le Collectif has generously made excerpts from the new book available here as well as on the publisher's website, Hors D'Atteinte.
