My Body Keeps Your Secrets | Lucia Osborne-Crowley

2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read

In her first full-length book, Lucia Osborne-Crowley, author of the acclaimed Mood Indigo essay I Choose Elena, writes about the secrets a woman's body keeps, from puberty to menstruation to sexual pleasure; to pregnancy or its absence; and to darker secrets of abuse, invasion or violation. Through the voices of women around the world and her own deeply moving testimony, My Body Keeps Your Secrets tells the story of the young woman's body in 2021. Moving from girlhood and adolescence to young womanhood, Osborne-Crowley establishes her credentials as a key feminist thinker of a new generation with this widely researched and boldly argued work about reclaiming our bodies in the age of social media.

My Body Keeps Your Secrets | Lucia Osborne-Crowley

so-so

The ideas and stories this book discusses are really valuable and important. Osbourne-Crowley gives voice to the stories of women and non-binary people and our complex, troubled relationships with our bodies which are too often silenced. Unfortunately the execution of this didn‘t really work for me. Repetitive phrasing weakened the expression rather than providing emphasis, and I found it structurally scattered. An edit would help.

My Body Keeps Your Secrets | Lucia Osborne-Crowley

pick

My Body Keeps Your Secrets is not an easy read, but I found myself nodding furiously the whole way through. Every other page offers a lightbulb moment or the kind of insight that will make you gasp. Osborne-Crawley deserves a wide readership; her tireless efforts to examine and self-examine will resonate for all readers, regardless of their own identities and histories.
