The founders of “Our Bodies, Ourselves” describe the group’s history as lengthy and satisfying. The group first met at a conference in Boston in the spring of 1969. They originally called themselves “The Doctors Group,” and members discussed women and their bodies, sharing a common feeling of anger and frustration towards doctors and the “medical maze.”

The women launched their summer project, a book called “Our Bodies, Ourselves,” in which they presented other women with their discussed findings as a course for women on women and their bodies.
