MS Magazine is an American feminist magazine that focuses on women’s rights and the feminist movement.
The current issue ‘What’s the measure of a woman?’ looks at body image and this article ‘Out of body image’ by Caroline Heldman looks the issue of ‘Self-objectification’—seeing ourselves through others’ eyes, which has the effect of impairing women’s body image, mental health, motor skills and even their sex lives.

Last Wednesday in our discussion about women’s issues internationally, we spoke about Dr Catherine Hamlin who established the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital to operate on fistula patients in Ethiopia. A fistula is a tear to the birth canal, bladder and rectum that arises in (usually very young) pregnant women in prolonged labour (often lasting up to six days) due to a lack of access to medical facilities. This condition occurs in impoverished women throughout the Third World.
