A great new book! If you’d like to review it please reach out to us

Abortion bans making pregnancy more dangerous, shaming women for using tylenol, making the world more dangerous for babies: this is all pronatalist because pronatalism is about recreating mandatory childbearing, not making childbearing easier.

Come check out this fantastic AMA with @kweingarten.bsky.social we have going on today! (One of several @nursingclio.bsky.social appearances on @askhistorians.bsky.social in the near future!) www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

Congrats to the @nursingclio.bsky.social team! My local independent bookstore tells me my pre-ordered copy is ready for pickup. 🤓📚

And this is only a fraction of the massive team that worked on this book, with nearly 60 authors and about 10 editors on our book committee. What a joyful day it has been.

Hi all, I wanted to break into the timeline to share that The Nursing Clio Reader is published today! And I’m a part of it! Congratulations to everyone at @nursingclio.bsky.social for pulling this project together.

Our book is out!! Happy publication day to our fantastic team of editors and authors.

Today is publication day for The Nursing Clio Reader. As I write in the preface of the book, I started Nursing Clio back when I was a second-semester grad student as part of a final project in a public humanities seminar taught by historian Matthew Countryman at UMich. 🧵

The Nursing Clio Reader is out now! This book is so good, so accessible, so smart. It's perfect for teaching, bedtime reading, and gifting. (My cat also likes the color coordination.)

“During a moment when histories of gender, reproduction, and justice are under attack, we think this book is more important than ever.” Read the preface to THE NURSING CLIO READER by our founder @jackiantonovich.bsky.social here! ⤵️ nursingclio.org/2025/09/09/i...

By far the coolest volume I’ve ever been in. The essays meet the current assault on public health and expertise. Each imagines ways of honouring bodily autonomy without sacrificing our collective well being. @nursingclio.bsky.social @rutgersupress.bsky.social

i’ve said before, but it bears repeating: the new Nursing Clio collection is chocked with history of medicine goodness, by @ayahnerd.bsky.social, @jackiantonovich.bsky.social , and many others

I just got my (reader) copy of The Nursing Clio Reader!
