hard to bear:
Investigating the science and silence of miscarriage
hard to bear
by Isabelle Oderberg
Every five minutes, someone in Australia experiences a miscarriage. Hard to Bear combines personal stories, with in-depth investigative journalism to help us understand how the system is letting women down, and what we can do to change it.
“Hard to Bear is a furious, insistent and tender work.”
— Felicity Plunkett, The Saturday Paper
“Hard to Bear is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersection of systemic inequality, empirical evidence and lived experience.”
— Nanci Nott, Artshub
