Biography
Avital Norman Nathman is a freelance writer and editor who has spent over 15 years spinning and weaving words into everything from website copy to public health documents, weekly columns for Snoop Dogg, press releases, and a variety of print and online articles for outlets like The New York Times, Teen Vogue, Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan, VICE, and many more. A lot of her work revolves around reproductive justice and maternal health. Her first book, The Good Mother Myth: Redefining Motherhood to Fit Reality, provides a platform for diverse voices that often get left out of the conversations surrounding parenting. Her upcoming book, The Perfect Birth Myth combines research, expert analysis, and narrative experiences to look at the intersection of the birth industry and the health care system to understand how this ideal of the perfect birth came about, why it's a red herring, and how we can do better to ensure that all folks who are pregnant can have access to quality care and the chance at a birth that is safe and that they are comfortable with. As a first generation Jewish American, Avital strongly believes in the power of not only finding your voice, but sharing it with the world, particularly when it comes to underrepresented and marginalized communities.

By Esther Gim Verified, Stephanie Mitchell, Avital Norman Nathman Verified| Rewire News Group@ West Alabama Women’s Center was one of the only places in the state where people could access abortion care before Alabama began enforcing a total abortion ban after the overturn of Roe v. Wade. Like many clinics, the center, now WAWC Healthcare—a free and sliding scale reproductive and sexual health center in Tuscaloosa—is struggling to stay afloat while the local community struggles to access care.
By Esther Gim Verified, Avital Norman Nathman Verified| Rewire News Group@ Within hours of Vice President Kamala Harris’ announcement that she had chosen Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, Donald Trump’s followers mockingly dubbed him “Tampon Tim.” Named for a recent Minnesota law that provides free menstrual products in public schools, the opposition took joy in deriding a man who signed a bill that addresses a very real public health need.
