"For a woman, writing publicly about her body is an act of courage in a society that commodifies, objectifies, and violates her body throughout her life-until it is ignored and rendered invisible in her elder years. Writing about her body is an act of self-respect, and one of the most radical things a woman can do is respect her body. ...
The essays in this anthology shatter generations of shame carried among women by tenderly and triumphantly speaking to the unique yet shared experience of being a soul in the form of a female body. From eating disorders and injuries to childbirth and menstruation, these stories are a homecoming."
-Rachel Allyn, Ph.D., licensed psychologist and author of "The Pleasure Is all Yours"
Many women face obstacles in publishing today. Even more so if she is a woman of color, a woman with a disability, a member of the LGBTQ+ community or any combination of these. Publish Her is on a mission to disrupt the status quo and remove barriers for underrepresented authors. We do so, in part, by providing access to publishing services and programs through grants. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of this book will benefit publishing grants for underrepresented women authors.
