Book ClubsChapter 6: Hysterectomies | "Woman: An Intimate Geography" by N. Angier
Hi Everyone! And thanks for your interest in reading "Woman: An Intimate Geography"! Since each topic is has so much information and is perfectly contained in one chapter, I will be making weekly threads per chapter to discuss each aspect of female biology described in this book. Note that there is a 1999 version, as well as a 2014 refresh with updated/additional information. I am using the 2014 version.
These threads will primarily focus on one book, and I ask that the discussion generally limit to the book itself. If after reading, you went off to do additional research, I encourage you to share how that has supplemented your engagement with the book. And of course, if anyone decides to pick up this book at a later date, you're welcome (and encouraged) to continue the conversation!
Ova, Chromosomes, Body, Clitoris, Uterus
Chapter six continues on with the discussion of the uterus, through further discussion of hysterectomies.
"To make a truly informed choice, we need information." - pg 135
Surprising that hysterectomies are the 2nd most common gynecological surgery, and yet a lot of women aren't given the full scope of possible procedures by their doctors.
