Bodily Autonomy is a category for books that explore the right of individuals to make informed, uncoerced decisions about their own bodies across medical, legal, social, and cultural contexts. It includes nonfiction and fiction—memoirs, essays, legal and ethical analyses, public health and disability studies, and narratives—that examine consent, reproductive rights, patient and end-of-life decision-making, gender-affirming care, sexual violence prevention, and the history of movements for bodily integrity. These works highlight personal agency and boundaries alongside the influence of law, policy, and social norms, with attention to intersecting factors like race, class, age, and disability. Readers will find both practical guides and thought-provoking stories that illuminate how people claim, respect, and protect self-determination over their bodies in diverse communities and around the world.

1. The Seven Necessary Sins For Women And Girls by Mona Eltahawy
A Manifesto
A fierce feminist manifesto that reframes seven traditionally condemned behaviors as necessary tools of resistance, blending memoir, reporting, and political analysis to challenge patriarchy, religious and social controls over women’s bodies and voices, and to urge women and girls worldwide to embrace transgressive courage and collective action to demand rights, dignity, and equality.
