Pamela Mahoney Tsigdinos (born June, 1963 in Detroit, Michigan) is an author and blogger, internationally recognized for her writing on living with infertility and discussing the personal and societal challenges couples face when infertility treatments don't succeed. [1] [2]
Tsigdinos' book, Silent Sorority, is the first memoir about the infertility experience not written by a mother. Her advocacy on behalf of the involuntarily childless and raising awareness about infertility led to an award in September 2010 for Best Book from RESOLVE, the National Infertility Association. [3]
In October 2010, Simpukka, the Finnish Infertility Association profiled Tsigdinos and her infertility journey in its quarterly magazine. [4] The Simpukka Association was founded in 1988 and it is the only Finnish patient support organization for those affected by fertility problems.
