About the Book:

Thread: A Caesarean Story of Myth, Magic and Medicine by Hannah Marsh is an unflinching, compassionate, and deeply validating examination of the Caesarean section. Blending personal memoir, investigative journalism, and cultural history, Marsh sets out to reframe a medical procedure that is rarely spoken of with the same reverence or sense of innate power as vaginal birth.

Weaving together her own unexpected birth experience following thirty hours of induced labor with the stories of contemporary, historical, and mythical women, the book explores folklore, medical advancement, and the complex emotional realities of modern motherhood.

Insightful, beautifully written, and deeply empowering, Thread stands as an unputdownable read for anyone navigating motherhood, women's health, or the intersection of medicine and human experience.
