Leah Hazard talks to Rachel Parris

Womb

Hay Festival 2023, 

The womb is the most miraculous organ in the body, yet most of us know almost nothing about it. Midwife and author Leah Hazard goes on a journey to explore the rich past, complex present and dynamic future of the uterus, speaking to the Californian doctor who believes women deserve a period-free life and walking in the footsteps of the Scottish woman whose Caesarean section changed childbirth forever. With warmth and wisdom, Hazard talks to comedian Rachel Parris about her book Womb, an extraordinary exploration of a woefully under-researched and misunderstood organ.
