Publisher's pictorial stiff wrappers creases and wear. First commercial and first expanded edition early paperback issue. Illustrations. 276pp. 4to. "In May of 1969 as the women's movement was gaining momentum and influence in the Boston area and elsewhere around the country a group of women met during a 'female liberation conference' at Emmanuel College. In a workshop on 'Women and Their Bodies' they shared their experiences with doctors and their frustration at how little they knew about how their bodies worked. The discussions were so provocative and fulfilling that they formed the Doctor's Group the forerunner to the Boston Women's Health Book Collective to find out more about their bodies their lives their sexuality and relationships and to talk with each other about what they learned. They decided to put their knowledge into an accessible format that could be shared and would serve as a model for women to learn about themselves communicate their findings with doctors and challenge the medical establishment to change and improve the care that women receive. In 1970 they worked with the New England Free Press to publish a 193-page course book on stapled newsprint entitled "Women and Their Bodies." The book was revolutionary for its frank talk about sexuality and abortion which was then illegal. The cost: 75 cents. In 1971 they changed the title to 'Our Bodies Our Selves' to emphasize women taking full ownership of their bodies . In 1972 after strenuous debate the group of founding authors decided to publish with a mainstream publisher in order to reach a wider audience. They formally incorporated as the Boston Women's Health Book Collective and negotiated a contract with Simon & Schuster that included a 70 percent clinic discount for low-income women and provision for a U.S. Spanish translation. The first commercial expanded edition of "Our Bodies Ourselves" was published in 1973" https://www.ourbodiesourselves.org/our-story/. Simon & Schuster paperback
