內容簡介
THE BESTSELLING WOMEN’S HEALTH CLASSIC–INFORMING AND INSPIRING WOMEN ACROSS GENERATIONS Hailed by The New York Times as a ＂feminist classic,＂ this comprehensive guide to all aspects of women’s sexuality and reproductive health–including menopause, birth control, childbirth, sexual health, sexual orientation, gender identity, mental health, and overall wellbeing–changed the women’s health movement around the world and remains as important and relevant as ever. Providing detailed and empowering information on women’s reproductive health and sexuality, this latest edition of Our Bodies, Ourselves shows how to find and access health information and offers additional resources and stories to educate women about health care injustices and inspires them to work collectively to address them. Including the latest vital information on: -Changes in the health care system–especially how health care reform affects women and how to get the care you need. -Safer sex–how to engage in pleasurable, satisfying sexual experiences while protecting your health and the health of your partner. -Environmental health risks–including minimizing exposure to everyday pollutants that endanger reproductive health. -Body image–resisting negative media stereotypes and embracing healthier approaches to looking and feeling good. -Local and global activism–using social media and organizing tactics to build community and advocate for policies that improve women’s lives. -As well as crucial information about gender identity, sexual orientation, birth control, abortion, pregnancy and birth, perimenopause, and sexuality and sexual health as we age. Together with its companion website, OurBodiesOurselves.org, Our Bodies, Ourselves is a one-stop resource that belongs on the bookshelves of women of all ages.
“The best women’s health reference book I’ve ever seen.”
「我見過最棒的女性健康參考書。」

“This flawlessly updated edition does justice to the legacy of Our Bodies,
Ourselves, which has been synonymous with women’s empowerment for
the past forty years. Incredibly detailed, empowering, and enriched by the
extremely diverse opinions and positions of its collaborators, this should be
on the bookshelves of women young and old worldwide!”
「這個完美更新的版本，公正地展現了《我們的身體，我們自己》的
傳承，這部作品在過去四十年來一直是女性賦權的代名詞。內容極為
詳盡、賦權，並因合作者多元的意見與立場而豐富，這本書應該成為
全球年輕與年長女性書架上的珍貴書架！」

“The new edition of Our Bodies, Ourselves offers a relatable voice to help
make the very confusing reality of health and sexuality as a girl easier to
navigate. In a world that doesn’t always offer girls such honesty, the new
edition of OBOS makes me optimistic about the awareness and attitude of
this generation of women and girls. My brain was fist pumping the whole
way through.”
「新版《我們的身體，我們自己》提供了一個貼近生活的聲音，幫助
你更容易面對女孩健康與性這令人困惑的現實。在這個不總是能給女
孩如此誠實的世界裡，OBOS的新版讓我對這一代女性和女孩的認知
與態度感到樂觀。我整個過程腦袋都在揮拳。」

“This revamped edition of Our Bodies, Ourselves shows just how far we’ve
come in the women’s health movement. The level of inclusiveness of my
community—those of us who are queer, trans, or gender nonconforming—
is remarkable. If this had been the edition that my mom gave me as a
preteen, my life and coming-of-age would have been so different and much
less confusing. It also artfully lays out the reality of women’s health as a
political issue—one that goes way beyond simply understanding how our
bodies work. The fortieth-anniversary edition proves that education is a
radical act and that sharing our struggles, triumphs, and stories can
ultimately change the world.”
「這本重新設計的《我們的身體，我們自己》展現了我們在女性健康
運動中走了多遠。我所在的社群——無論是酷兒、跨性別或性別不符
者——的包容程度令人驚嘆。如果這是我媽媽在我青少年時期送給我
的版本，我的人生和成長過程會截然不同，也不會那麼混亂。它也巧
妙地呈現女性健康作為政治議題的現實——這遠遠超越了單純理解我
們身體運作的範疇。四十週年版證明教育是一項激進的行動，分享我
們的奮鬥、勝利與故事，最終能改變世界。」
