A Caesarean story of myth, magic and medicine

Beschreibung

'I start to see my own experience not as a woeful result of a system or a body that has let me down, but as a birth experience as ancient, rich and potent as any other kind of birth.'Back in 2017, journalist Hannah Marsh was about to give birth to her son after months of preparation, reading and hypnobirthing classes.

Autor

Hannah Marsh is a journalist; she has written for The Telegraph and The Independent. Born into a medical family, with two Oxford University professors and scientists as parents, and an international community of scientists, researchers and specialists around her, Hannah defied the family convention to carve out a career in writing and the arts. Hannah gave birth via Caesarean in 2017. After being diagnosed with PTSD following the birth, discovering more about the procedure, and its history, became both a fascination and a key part of her healing. She first wrote about her discoveries in a personal essay for online culture magazine Demented Goddess in 2019. Writing about women and gender has long been a focus for Hannah; she wrote a series of columns for The Independent focusing on feminist and gender issues and she has penned columns for The Vagenda. Hannah explores the Caesarean experience with a journalist's tenacity, curiosity and eye for a story, a scientific edge and a storyteller's creative approach, giving new life to forgotten women's voices.
