Bringing together medical history, scientific discoveries, and journalistic exploration, Leah Hazard embarks on a journey in search of answers about the body's most miraculous and contentious organ. A clear-eyed and inclusive examination of the cultural prejudices and assumptions that have made the uterus so poorly understood for centuries, "Womb" takes a fresh look at an organ that brings us pain and pleasure - a small part of our bodies that has a larger impact than we ever thought possible.
