SUMMARY:Abby Norman on ASK ME ABOUT MY UTERUS
DESCRIPTION:Join us on March 18th at the Astoria Bookshop for Abby Norman and her book ASK ME ABOUT MY UTERUS: A QUEST TO MAKE DOCTORS BELIEVE IN WOMENS PAIN. “A fresh\, honest\, and startling look at what it means to exist in a woman’s body\, in all of its beauty and pain. Abby’s voice is inviting\, unifying\, and remarkably brave.” —GILLIAN ANDERSON\, actress\, activist\, and co-author of We: A Manifesto For Women Everywhere. ASK ME ABOUT MY UTERUS is by turns humorous\, infuriating\, and triumphant—a gripping medical mystery and an inspiring story of the power of perseverance and empowerment. With a science writer’s fierce commitment to truth and a profound literary sensibility\, Norman puts her own trials into a broader historical and political context to refute the belief that being a woman is a preexisting condition. \n“Abby Norman writes powerfully about her experience living with endometriosis and presents research on the disease and the history of women who were brushed off by medical professionals. You know\, like how hysteria is anything that ails a woman\, but the same symptoms do not equate hysteria in a man. It’s hitting all my feminist and history and medicine buttons.” —Book Riot \n“Required reading for anyone who is a woman\, or has ever met a woman. This means you.” —JENNY LAWSON\, author of Let’s Pretend This Never Happened and Furiously Happy \nABBY NORMAN is a science writer\, a senior science editor at Futurism\, and host of a daily podcast on Anchor.fm. Her work has been featured in The Rumpus\, The Independent\, Paste Magazine\, Medium\, Atlas Obscura\, Seventeen\, Quartz\, Cosmopolitan\, and Lady Science/The New Inquiry. She lives in Camden\, Maine. \n
