Twenty-one vivid, moving essays on caesarean birth ?No one talks about C-sections as surgery,? writes SooJin Pate. ?They talk about it as if it?s just another way?albeit more convenient way?of giving birth.? The twenty-one essays in My Caesarean add back to the conversation the missing voices of a vast, invisible sisterhood. Robin Schoenthaler reflects: ?A C-section for us meant life.? And yet, women who don?t give birth vaginally?by choice or necessity?often feel stigmatized. ?My son?s birth was not a test I needed to pass,? writes Sara Bates. ?As if growing a human inside another human for nine months then caring for it the rest of its life isn?t enough,? adds Mary Pan, herself a physician. Alongside their personal stories, the writers?decorated novelists, poets, and essayists?address 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.
