Hannah Marsh

Hannah Marsh is a journalist; she has written for The Telegraph and The Independent. Born into a medical family, with two Oxford University professors and scientists as parents, and an international community of scientists, researches and specialists around her, Hannah defied the family convention to carve out a career in writing and the arts.

Hannah gave birth via Caesarean in 2017. After being diagnosed with PTSD following the birth, discovering more about the procedure, and its history, became both a fascination and a key part of her healing. She first wrote about her discoveries in a personal essay for online culture magazine Demented Goddess in 2019.

Writing about women and gender has long been a focus for Hannah; she wrote a series of columns for The Independent focusing on feminist and gender issues and she has penned columns for The Vagenda. Hannah explores the Caesarean experience with a journalist's tenacity, curiosity and eye for a story, a scientific edge and a storyteller's creative approach, giving new life to forgotten women's voices.
