The female body has been misunderstood for centuries.
Declared defective. Pathologised. Controlled. Exploited
In The Body Myth, feminist writer and birth activist Milli Hill exposes the stories we've been told about being female and replaces them with a new narrative: women are powerful, strong and perfect just as we are.
From menstruation to menopause, female biology has been misunderstood, medicalised, sexualised and sold back to us as a problem to fix. The result? A world in which women doubt their own strength, knowledge and instincts - while industries profit from their insecurity.
Moving from the mirror to the clinic, from the clitoris to childbirth, Milli reveals how culture, medicine and history have misread women's lives and why reclaiming a new understanding of female power is long overdue.
Bold, eye-opening and deeply empowering, The Body Myth invites women to see themselves differently. Because being female was never the problem. It has always been the source of incredible power.
