UPDATED May 8, 2008, 3:18pm
By Monica Wright
Last March the Boston Women’s Health Book Collective — the groundbreaking organization that published the original Our Bodies, Ourselves women’s health book — released Our Bodies, Ourselves: Pregnancy and Birth. Executive Director Judy Norsigian came to Minneapolis on May 7 to host a reading at the University of Minnesota’s bookstore with Andy Steiner, a local author and contributor to the new book.
