Join Feminist Press for our first official reading and launch party of The Doulas, Radical Care For Pregnant People, on 11/21 at Bluestockings Bookstore, Café, & Activist Center!
Through their unique hands-on activism, full-spectrum doulas provide tangible support for those confronting life, death, and the sticky in-between.
As more feminism migrates online, the activist providers of the Doula Project remain focused on life’s physically intimate relationships: between caregivers and patients, parents and pregnancy, individuals and their own bodies. They are committed to supporting a pregnancy no matter the outcome—whether it results in birth, abortion, miscarriage, or adoption—and to facing the question of choice head-on.
“Eye-opening… Throughout, the authors’ stories are vivid, absorbing, and informative. A gripping chronicle that will be especially useful for expectant or aspirational mothers.” —Kirkus
“Thoughtful… The writing is clear, and the message is too: reproductive justice for the poor starts with the “quiet brand of activism” of one-on-one support and telling other people’s stories.” —Publishers Weekly
Cosponsored by SisterSong, National Advocates for Pregnant Women, New York Abortion Access Fund, and Choices Women’s Medical Center
