"No one talks about C-sections as surgery," writes SooJin Pate. "They talk about it as if it's just another way-albeit more convenient way-of giving birth." The twenty-one essays in My Caesarean add back to the conversation the missing voices of a vast, invisible sisterhood. Robin Schoenthaler reflects: "A C-section for us meant life."
