OBOS Transformed Worldwide
A Collection of Prefaces from Translations and Adaptations of Our Bodies, Ourselves and Sacrificing Our Selves for Love
From the time Our Bodies, Ourselves (OBOS) was first published in 1970, women from many different countries have been inspired to produce their own versions of the book. The stories of how these women came together and the obstacles and challenges they faced are informative and heartwarming. We recently compiled "OBOS Transformed Worldwide," a collection of prefaces from the books, to share these stories with a wider audience. The prefaces have been translated into English.

We have also posted the preface from the Japanese edition of Sacrificing Our Selves for Love, which includes a detailed history of the 1988 translation and adaptation of Our Bodies, Ourselves.
The prefaces from the 1973, 1998, and 2005 U.S. editions of Our Bodies, Ourselves are also available online.
