Our Bodies Ourselves was a revolutionary publication, helping women take control over their own bodies, by exploring women’s health, sexuality, and bodies in its chapters, information that was not readily available to women at the time of the book’s publication. In honor and celebration of the 50^th Anniversary of the first publication of Our Bodies Ourselves, we are convening a panel of experts to discuss a range of topics related to women’s health.
