Summary:
A zine distributed by Blood Sisters, exploring the medicalization of women's bodies and alternative ways to treat different women's health issues. The booklet encourages self help, herbal remedies, women's empowerment through community-building, and a critical eye to western medicine in general, arguing that the tools in place to make us well, in fact do more harm than good.
