Hannah Marsh
Hannah Marsh is a journalist who has written for The Telegraph and The Independent. Born into a medical family of Oxford University professors, she forged her own path in writing and the arts. After giving birth by Caesarean in 2017 and being diagnosed with PTSD, Hannah began researching the procedure and its history as part of her healing. Writing on women and gender has long been central to her work. She has contributed feminist columns to The Independent and written for The Vagenda. Bringing journalistic rigor, scientific curiosity, and a storyteller’s eye, Hannah reanimates forgotten women’s voices and reframes the Caesarean experience.
