New Book about Important Women's Issues
Yesterday, I received an email from Patsy Harman, CNM MS, telling me
about her new book:
The Blue Cotton Gown:
A Midwife's Memoir , (Beacon Press, Oct. 2008). Since it relates to so many of the important issues
we women confront, I decided to pass along her email information.
The Blue Cotton Gown, set in
giving birth to themselves. It addresses such issues as postpartum
depression, drug abuse, teen pregnancy, menopause, mother-guilt, infertility,
domestic violence, transgender change, midlife sexuality, keeping a marriage
together and the crisis in the
health care system.
The Blue Cotton Gown is a work of the heart, a celebration of the
courage of the ordinary woman and a tribute to all who struggle to survive with
their souls intact. I hope you like it.
So, check out her website (www.patriciaharman.com) to learn more
about the book and what reviewers have said.

I've read The Blue Cotton Gown and was impressed. I would say more than impressed. Not only was the writing lyrical at times, but I felt i was right their with the midwife as she met her patients, went through crisis in her health care office, rode her bike into a lighting storm. This is the kind of book women love, full of compassion, adventure and love. LS
