About the book

Women’s Bodies, Women’s Words was created by the longtime Bellingham writing group, Wildhaven Writers. Founder, Nancy Canyon, says the personal essays and poetry were written in response to Roe v. Wade being overturned and are an urgent call to action to protect the reproductive rights essential to health and autonomy.
