Anne Briggs

Anne M. Briggs graduated from the University of Virginia with majors in Linguistics and History. She has been active in childbirth circles for over twenty years. Her interest in neonatal circumcision stems from the numerous questions she received on the topic during her childbirth classes and her resultant frustration when she discovered that such limited information was available. Although she originally intended to write only a short hand-out on the topic for use during her classes, her research quickly showed her the wide gap between what was said in the medical press and what parents believed. Briggs has four children including one son.
