It has since come to my attention that Ina May Gaskin has made some inappropriate, racist public statements. Many people have come out to speak about the racism in her life and work. If you choose to read her books I recommend you get them from the library, purchase them second hand, or borrow from a friend as I cannot in good conscience recommend that you support her financially.**Sources on Saggy Boobs:University of Kentucky.
