Description
After Sarah Jane Barnett had a hysterectomy in her forties, a comment by her doctor that she wouldn't be "less of a woman" prompted her to investigate what the concept of womanhood meant to her. Part memoir, part feminist manifesto, part coming-of-middle-age story, Notes on Womanhood is the result.
