The latest episode of FAB Gab is out now, and in this episode, Jeanne Proust discusses her recent co-authored paper focussed on the uterus, as a concept and as a complex organ.

The paper arises from the context of the extraordinarily high rates of hysterectomy and c-section delivery in the United States, which is well beyond the rates in other developed nations. Proust and her co-authors discuss how the ‘parthood’ model and the ‘container’ model, two often-used conceptual metaphors in pregnancy, influence how women (and society broadly) think(s) about uteruses, their purpose, and their value.
