womb of the earth

<p>In <em>Womb of the Earth</em> Rachel Sierra weaves together the narratives of feminism and ecology exploring themes of empowerment resilience and healing. Inspired by her own struggle with endometriosis and the complexities of navigating the medical system this work reflects on how women's health is often reduced to fertility and reproduction rather than being centered on a woman's quality of life.</p><p> </p><p>Her poetry draws powerful parallels between women's well-being and the treatment of the earth. It delves into women's health cultural norms and the intersection of christian culture and politics which profoundly impacts both women and the earth in a visceral way. </p><p> </p><p><em>Womb of the Earth</em> calls us to honor the sacred connection between femininity and the land inviting readers on a journey where healing ourselves leads to healing the earth.</p>
