Our Bodies, Ourselves
''Our Bodies, Ourselves'' is a book about women's health and sexuality produced by the nonprofit organization Our Bodies Ourselves (originally called the Boston Women's Health Book Collective). First published in 1970, it contains information related to many aspects of women's health and sexuality, including: sexual health, sexual orientation, gender identity, birth control, abortion, pregnancy and childbirth, violence and abuse, and menopause. The most recent edition of the book was published in 2011. The book was revolutionary in that it encouraged women to celebrate their sexuality, including chapters on reproductive rights, lesbian sexuality, and sexual independence. Its emphasis on women's active engagement with their actual sexual desires stood in contrast to the societal notion of the role of "women as docile and passive," and "men as active and aggressive" in a sexual relationship.The book has been translated and adapted by women's groups around the world and is available in 33 languages. Sales for all the books exceed four million copies. ''The New York Times'' has called the seminal book "America's best-selling book on all aspects of women's health" and a "feminist classic".
