Is the womb the finest human organ? And what role does it really play in female identity? In this fascinating episode, we speak to Dr. Gabriel Weston – surgeon, broadcaster, author and mother. She argues that the womb is far more than an anatomical wonder. The stories and humanity behind it transcend its biological function. We discuss its form, its place in our collective imagination, and the patriarchy’s astonishing attempts to subvert its power. As Dr. Gabriel writes in her latest book, Alive, the womb represents something profound and provocative within the human journey. ‘Love is the inescapable accompaniment to giving birth to a child,’ she says in the interview. That’s just one of the emotions underpinning this remarkable organ.
