Overview
This Milli Hill 2-book paperback collection brings together two of her most talked-about works of feminist non-fiction: Give Birth Like a Feminist, a rallying cry for bodily autonomy in the labor ward, and Ultra-Processed Women, a sharp investigation into how the food and beauty industries affect women's health. Together the pair showcase Hill's signature blend of rigorous research and down-to-earth, empowering writing, making this set a smart pick for readers who care deeply about women's health, autonomy, and the everyday systems that quietly shape their choices and bodies over a lifetime.
About the Books
Give Birth Like a Feminist argues that birth is a feminist issue deserving far more attention than it gets. Drawing on interviews, research, and years spent founding the Positive Birth Movement, Milli Hill challenges the idea that "a healthy baby is all that matters," insisting that women's experiences and choices during labor matter too. The book covers everything from birth plans to navigating conversations with doctors and midwives, equipping expectant mothers and their partners with practical tools to advocate for themselves during pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period. Ultra-Processed Women turns Hill's investigative eye toward the food and beauty industries, asking a question rarely addressed head-on: is the ultra-processed world uniquely harmful to women's bodies? She examines links between ultra-processed food, hormone imbalances, period pain, weight gain, mood, and long-term conditions, while also looking at how marketing has specifically targeted women for decades. As in her previous work, Hill pairs hard-hitting research with a compassionate, non-judgmental tone, offering practical steps rather than guilt or restrictive rules. Side by side, the two titles trace a consistent thread through Hill's writing: putting women's bodies and well-being back at the center of conversations that have too often left them out of the room entirely.
