Radiotherapy: Isabelle Oderberg's New Book Exploring the Nuances of Miscarriage
Journalist Isabelle Oderberg joins Dr Nick, Prudence Dear, Dr Sonia, and Miss Diagnosis to talk about her new book, Hard to Bear: Investigating the science and silence of miscarriage (Ultimo Press) which explores the nuances of miscarriage and pregnancy. It's the world's most common pregnancy complication, yet its situatedness in medical or cultural contexts is overshadowed by dominant narratives in pro-life and pro-choice movements. Hard to Bear explores miscarriage from a feminist lens, along a fuller spectrum of grief, nuance, and contradiction. This book is not just for people who experience miscarriage, but for medical professionals, peers, family and friends, and for anyone who cares about reproductive justice.
