My book UNBEARABLE: Five Women and the Perils of Pregnancy in America comes out on October 28. It builds on my years of reporting on reproduction to weave together history, politics, and the staggering stories of five women. simonandschuster.com/books/U…

Propulsive & informative, it illustrates how loss of humanity & dignity accompany pregnancy whether you want to give birth or not, but offers hope for the future bookshop.org/p/books/unbeara…

In ‘Unbearable,’ journalist @irin draws on the history of reproduction to show how the American story of pregnancy has long been incomplete. Tomorrow, she speaks with legal scholar @ProfMMurray about the faults and future of the healthcare system.

I’ve spent the past three years reporting a book about how this country makes being pregnant harder than it should be. I wrote this because the conversation about what can be beautiful about pregnancy and parenting has felt dominated by the right.

I’ll share much more soon. For now, consider preordering the book? So much of the infrastructure that used to exist to get books like this out there has been gutted — :: gestures around here :: — and preorders matter so much to whether a book gets a shot. simonandschuster.com/books/U…
