Breasts, Blood, and the Royal V: Challenges of Revising Anatomy and Periods for the 2005 Edition of Our Bodies, Ourselves

Has our anatomy changed since 1998? What is new and different about menstruation? These are some of the challenging questions I faced as I set out last year to revise a chapter in the classic women’s health book, Our Bodies, Ourselves (OBOS). Roughly 500 people, most of them women, participated in the revision of the book. Our roles ranged from writers, to editors, to photographers. My role was to be the primary reviser for the sexual anatomy, reproduction, and menstruation chapter. With the help of comments from pre-readers (who evaluated the 1998 chapter with an eye toward what should get rewritten or cut), my task was to update material from the 1998 edition of OBOS, to add new topics where relevant, and to cut out-of-date discussions. I received input from other women on many aspects of the chapter, including content and structure, topics, photographs, and references. Although I was its primary reviser, the fi nished chapter is a product of many women’s work.
