I read this book in one evening! It was such an important book for me to pick up as the topic is well needed in our society.
I found myself agreeing to most of the examples in this book whether it was about birth or contraception. We do need more books like this to make things change in favour to females and their bodies.
I don’t have anything negative to say about this book. The front cover is great, the blurb explains well enough what the reader is about to read. The themes and ideas in this book are varied but all centred about female reproduction. I had never heard of femtech so it is nice to have a book explaining what they do and what innovations they have.
The author also interviews people throughout the book and themes and you can tell that each person chosen to talk and give an opinion knows what they are talking about and you can feel their investment in the matter.
This book is well needed and hopefully will provide more information to open minded people about the female body.

The Vagina Business has an entry level approach to Femtech and women’s health. Gerner stresses the urgency of this work whilst also writing in an optimistic manner, giving hope for the future of this much needed technology.

Gerner’s writing is very approachable and engaging. She covers all manner of innovations in the Femtech world, emphasising that Femtech offers solutions that improve our wellbeing and empower us, not something that exploits us for profit or plays on our insecurities.

An interesting and important read.

Thanks to Icon Books and NetGalley for the ARC.

This book was such an informative guide to femtech! It covered a range of topics in an inclusive manner, an overall great read.

This book provided me with lots of new information regarding women's health and how this could change for the better.

Thank you to Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was a great read and shined a light on femtech. From exclusion in medical research (and a nod to Invisible Women) to outdated procedures for childbirth, this showed several areas that are not talked about enough, and as a result, leave people in pain or unacknowledged.

I also loved how Marina continually referenced that every person may have a different idea (e.g. medical intervention vs natural remedies) and respected that everyone would have their own preferences. This also felt very inclusive and referenced that femtech can benefit many, without excluding communities such as trans men, those who do/do not menstruate, and intersex people. This is the sort of non-fiction needed to demonstrate that safe and innovative femtech benefits all of us.
