Voices of Women

“I do not think that embarrassment is linked to lack of knowledge, but more to taboos which exist in the religious society. All my friends came to my house to read the book "Iayet mekabelt". We would sit in the afternoon reading together, but this was before we had our periods. Afterwards – all the conversations came to an abrupt end. As if we’ve crossed some kind of a line to a world in which the female body needs to be concealed, this in contrast to the secular world where it is displayed with pride.”
from: Sexual Anatomy, Reproduction and the Menstrual Cycle

"Women and Their Bodies" trains volunteers to conduct interviews. Interviews are held with women throughout Israel on a broad range of topics (heath, sexuality, body image, addictions, and much more) and represent the wide variety of female voices in Israel. Sections from interviews are included in each and every chapter of the book, making the texts relevant to the lives of readers in Israel. These quotes represent the voices of women.
