Linda started The Hysterectomy Association back in 1996 after having a hysterectomy herself at the age of 32 to deal with the severe endometriosis she had suffered from since she was 16. It came about when she decided to use the subject of the information needs of women having a hysterectomy as the basis of a thesis for her MSc in Information Studies at Loughborough University. When the research was completed, she was asked by the ladies who had taken part to start an organisation just for them that would provide them with a place to go for information and support.

Linda has written four books so far, three of them about hysterectomy and the fourth about using the Internet for business. You can find out more about Linda and her other roles by viewing her linked in profile - if you are in business yourself, you may well want to join her too - just let her know that you’re from The Hysterectomy Association.
