Description
In this book, award-winning journalist Alison Yarrow examines the dark side of progress in healthcare and offers a way forward. Modern medicine should make childbirth safer for women and children, so why do so many women leave delivery rooms with traumatic memories and damaged health? Financial interests, the desire for power and control, technocracy, and cultural narratives all contribute to the belief that women’s bodies are naturally defective, pregnancy is a crisis, childbirth is always close to catastrophe, and breastfeeding is difficult, unnecessary suffering and strange exhibitionism. Drawing on interviews with experts, her own research among 1,300 women and personal experience, Yarrow documents how the current model of “care” is designed to operate at women’s expense, while also showing how we can reclaim our births and reproductive rights. The contents are in Czech.
