Review


★★★★★

"This is a uniquely accessible and lucid guide for anyone looking to gain enhanced visualization of the female anatomy. I found the respectful portrayal of the female body - like the fact that women are presented sitting upright - just as refreshing as the amazing attention to detail and coherent explanations. I take it with me wherever I go and make extensive use of it in lectures to midwives, prenatal education courses and 'moon-circles' with adolescent and pre-adolescent girls."

From the Author


Love is what lead me to the creation of this book. The process was much like a birth itself. Every illustration you see here has an invisible back story of long hours spent with a pelvis in my hands, drawing and re-drawing. Collecting real stories from real women about their experiences as uterus owners. Flying across continents to witness live surgeries. Holding a freshly removed, still warm uterus in my hands after a hysterectomy. Getting special access to a cadaver at a research institution in the Netherlands where I respectfully investigated a woman's former body. All consumed Nights and weekends hunched over anatomical atlases, peer-reviewed research and preserved anatomical models. Sketch after sketch, meeting after meeting with my anatomist mentors - did I get this right? Then came the finalization of the drawings and digital painting. This book was a product of love. I hope it will be used for women's highest good, elevating through education and understanding. ♥
