From its first publication as a stapled newsprint booklet in 1970 to its latest Russian re-edition in 2007, Our Bodies, Ourselves, a book about women's health and sexuality, has grown in popularity and influence throughout North America and the world. It is produced by Our Bodies Ourselves, a non-profit organization formerly known as the Boston Women's Health Book Collective.
