‘Womb’ is the inside story of where we all began. Bringing together medical history, scientific discoveries and journalistic exploration, Leah Hazard traverses the globe in search of the truth about one of the most under-researched and important organs of the body, talking to the boundary-breaking scientists and activists working in the field. What is upsuck and why does it change everything? Can cervical crypts store sperm for up to six weeks? Do hysterectomies affect sexual pleasure? Is the womb connected to the brain? How can smart tampons help healthcare? Why does endometriosis take so long to be diagnosed? Revelatory and moving, ‘Womb’ shows that we must understand the uterus not just for healthcare – but for our human rights.
