My Body Keeps Your Secrets by Lucia Osborne-Crowley

My Body Keeps Your Secrets by Lucia Osborne-Crowley

Lucia Osborne-Crowley, author of I Choose Elena, writes about the secrets a body keeps, from gender identity, puberty, and menstruation to sexual pleasure; to pregnancy or its absence; and to darker secrets of abuse, invasion, or violation. The voices of women, trans and non-binary people around the world, and the author's own deeply moving testimony, cohere into an immersive polyphonic memoir that tells the story of the young person's body in 2021. In this boldly argued and widely researched work about reclaiming our bodies from shame, Osborne-Crowley establishes her credentials as a key intersectional feminist thinker of her generation.

Review: My Body Keeps Your Secrets by Lucia Osborne-Crowley
‘Osborne-Crowley begins to explore the intricacies of shame and trauma in a way which doesn’t shy away from the true extent of the impact that this trauma can have on an individual, but at the same time approaches the issues with sensitivity, and with a feeling of hope that we can overcome feelings of shame, and reclaim our bodies.'
