In this bold and much-needed memoir, Ally bares her darkest moments following her diagnosis of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome (MRKH). With raw honesty, she reveals the challenges of living as a woman born without a uterus or vagina, confronting societal expectations, censorship and her own sense of self.

What really makes a woman?

Über den Autor
Ally Hensley is an author, speaker, stigma shaker and global ambassador for women's health and happiness. Ally has written for leading publications on mental health, infertility and body positivity, and has become a regular media contributor on her experience of being born with MRKH, a medical condition resulting in the absence of a womb and vagina. In 2020, Ally co-produced the first short film about MRKH, alongside a leading digital storytelling brand, featuring women from across the globe who bravely shared experiences with MRKH. This film premiered at the World Congress for Paediatric and Adolescent Gynaecology in 2019, exposing the experiences of seven women across the globe as they told their unique and complex stories of their MRKH [...] an international spokesperson for MRKH on how to redefine womanhood on her own terms, Ally advocates to raise support and awareness of this life-altering diagnosis. She founded Australia's first MRKH organisation, MRKH Australia, in 2013, co-founded Global MRKH in 2016 and is a board member of the UK's flagship charity, MRKH Connect. Her podcast Stigma Shakers recently launched, and just two seasons in, this stigma-focused show has been featured by the BBC, among many other national publications, and has reached over 150k views. Now, Stigma Shakers is recognised as not just a taboo-tackling platform, but a social movement, in questioning: 'Is the only thing normal in this world difference?'Ally works to reduce the stigma surrounding sexual (mental) health and prompts conversations that matter. She defines herself as a realistic but scrappy dreamer - where fact is essential, and originality is to be absolutely embraced.
