Twenty-one vivid, moving essays on caesarean birth
âNo one talks about C-sections as surgery,â writes SooJin Pate. âThey talk about it as if itâs just another wayâalbeit more convenient wayâof giving birth.â The twenty-one essays in My Caesarean add back to the conversation the missing voices of a vast, invisible sisterhood.
Robin Schoenthaler reflects: âA C-section for us meant life.â And yet, women who donât give birth vaginallyâby choice or necessityâoften feel stigmatized. âMy sonâs birth was not a test I needed to pass,â writes Sara Bates. âAs if growing a human inside another human for nine months then caring for it the rest of its life isnât enough,â adds Mary Pan, herself a physician.
Alongside their personal stories, the writersâdecorated novelists, poets, and essayistsâaddress the history of the C-section as well as its risks, social inequities, impact on the body, and psychological aftermath. My Caesarean is a heartfelt meditation, offering much-needed comfort through shared experience.
Contributors include: Catherine Newman, Judy Batalion, Nicole Cooley, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Lisa Solod, Misty Urban, Jacinda Townsend, Mary Pan, Robin Schoenthaler, Elizabeth Noll, Jen Fitzgerald, Tyrese Coleman, SooJin Pate, Daniela Montoya-Barthelemy, Cameron Dezen Hammon, LaToya Jordan, Sara Bates, Susan Hoffmann, and Alicia Jo Rabins. - Workman Press.
