Give Birth Like a Feminist Reviews

'I feel so lucky to have read Milli's book while pregnant, she completely changed my way of looking at giving birth' Ella Mills, author of Deliciously Ella

'Milli is a compassionate and passionate writer who puts women squarely at the heart of her endeavours.' Emma Barnett, Woman's Hour

'A powerful read whether you're pregnant or not' Independent

'A much-needed, brilliant, reassuring, pioneering, kick-ass book that all women - especially mothers - should read!' Emma Jane Unsworth

'Milli Hill is one of our very favourite birth writers. Birth has been overlooked by feminists for too long, in spite of the injustices happening in the labour ward. This book is a rallying cry for women everywhere to take charge of their births and recognise their own autonomy at this pivotal moment in their lives. Everyone should read it and look at the experience of childbirth through a feminist lens.' Ricki Lake, Producer and Abby Epstein, Director: The Business of Being Born

'Whether a person is considering giving birth or not, Milli Hill's exploration of childbirth as a central feminist issue is a must-read. I loved this book!' Soraya Chemaly

'Everyone should read this awesome book! The world has changed and Milli Hill connects the dots in a way that can change minds and improve outcomes.' Tina Cassidy

'Finally. Someone brave enough to say the words feminist and birth in the same sentence in a book that is not an academic polemic.' Hannah Dahlen

'In case anyone is uncertain about what you're allowed to do when giving birth, Hill spells it out: stop asking for permission, recognize that your experience matters - quite a bit - and demand respect.' Jennifer Block, journalist and author of Pushed and Everything Below the Waist
