About this listen
A widely researched and boldly argued work about reclaiming our bodies from shame from a key intersectional feminist thinker of a new generation.
It occurred to me then that the thing that made me the sickest, the thing that made me suffer most, was the fact that I felt so compelled to hide what had been done to me. Because I believed it was my fault.
From Lucia Osborne-Crowley comes a necessary, elegant and empathetic work exploring the intricacies of abuse, trauma and shame.
Through the voices of women, trans and non-binary people around the world and her own deeply moving testimony, Lucia speaks of vulnerability and acceptance and the reclaiming of ourselves in a world that repeatedly asks us to carry the weight of the shame of the atrocities committed against us.
Widely researched and boldly argued, My Body Keeps Your Secrets reveals the secrets a body keeps - the trauma that can rewrite our biology, our relationship with sex and how we connect with others - in a daring and immersive literary form, establishing Lucia's credentials as a key intersectional feminist thinker of a new generation.

"Brave, unflinching and infuriating, the stories Lucia has collated are ones that desperately need to be heard." (Osman Faruqi, award-winning journalist)

Both healing and horrific.
Lucia recount both hers and others’ stories in such a way that they are respected but so very real.
As a woman who has shared experiences and chronic illnesses with many of the women in this book it was so healing and uplifting to hear their stories.
It was also horrific and saddening to listen to some of the statistics that show just how systemic and ingrained these affronts to women’s psyche and bodies are. But to voice them is to give them space to be seen.
This will be a re-read and shared amongst my girlfriends for sure.
