"You hear about cervixes. You know they are in there somewhere and have something to do with your uterus. You know that it's the cervix that you feel getting hit sometimes during sex. But you don't really THINK about cervixes. At least I didn't." For Katie's story see: My Perfect Cervix, by Katie Hodges.

 

"Now I am a dedicated self helper and always will be. I urge women to join or start a group. Look at your cervix, talk about your feminisms, learn about yourself in anyway you can. IT'S LIBERATING." For her story see: My First Self Help Experience, by Shyla Black.

 

 

"I have struggled with the medical community for a long time. As a large woman, I am often dismissed. My desire to know more about my own body seems to put doctors off, as if I am stepping on their toes. The more questions I ask, the less they want to answer me. But a recent experience rejuvenated me in my quest to learn about my body and share that knowledge with others. For her story see: The Belly of the Beast, by Katie Hodges.
