As featured on BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 5 Live Selected as one of the Independent's 10 best pregnancy books for expectant parents Birth is a feminist issue. It's the feminist issue nobody's talking about. For too long women have been told, 'a healthy baby is all that matters'. This book dares to say women matter too. Finally blasting the feminist spotlight into the labour ward, Milli Hill encourages women everywhere to stand and deliver, insisting that birth is no longer left off the list in discussions about female power, control and agency. From the importance of birth plans to your human rights in childbirth, and including birth stories from women across the world, this call-to-arms will help you find your voice, take an active role in your choices, and change the way you think about childbirth. Praise for Give Birth Like a Feminist 'I feel so lucky to have read Milli's book while pregnant, she completely changed my way of looking at giving birth' Ella Mills, author of Deliciously Ella Gold title * Milli is the author of The Positive Birth Book, which has received wide praise, including over 100 five star Amazon reviews to date. * Milli is a well-known figure in the global birth world and the founder of the Positive Birth Movement (PBM), a worldwide network of free to attend antenatal discussion groups, linked up by social media.


* Five years ago, Milli set up the PBM from her front room, and the response was both immediate and massive. Her idea - to start a global conversation network where women could challenge the way they think and feel about childbirth - became an overnight viral sensation. There are now over 250 groups in the UK, and another 200+ in the rest of the world. * Milli is also a journalist, and has written for publications such as Telegraph Women, Guardian and a two year column (2013-15) in BestDaily. Her many columns are widely shared, most notably her piece "A healthy baby is not ALL that matters" which has had over 100k shares, been read over half a million times and received applause from TV star Ricki Lake (the creator of documentary, 'The Business of Being Born'). * Through the PBM and her work as a journalist for Milli has become a spokeswoman for positive change in birth. She is a confident and passionate voice at UK and global conferences and is most often asked to represent the woman's experience of childbirth - a voice that is often sadly lacking. She is frequently asked to respond to breaking stories in the media.


* In August, 2018, Milli started the #soproud movement on social media to encourage women to share their diverse and personal stories of birth. The campaign garnered huge support and the story was picked up by the Independent and the Telegraph among other outlets.
