This website sells products and services. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you if you make a purchase through those links. This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR Part 255: Guides Concerning Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.
What This Means
The Federal Trade Commission requires us to be transparent about any material connections that may exist between us and the companies whose products or services we recommend. This page explains those connections so you can make informed decisions.
When you see a link to a book, product, or service on Female Obscura, it may be an affiliate link. This means that if you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission from that sale. The price you pay is not affected by whether you use our link.
Affiliate Links
We participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you click an Amazon link on our site and make a qualifying purchase, we earn a small commission from Amazon. This commission comes from Amazon’s margin, not from the price you pay.
Affiliate links are present in the “Go Deeper” sections of our articles and on any page where books or products are recommended. These links are identified by the Amazon Associates tag appended to the URL (tag=femaleobscura-20).
We only link to products we believe in. The presence of an affiliate relationship has no bearing on which products we recommend. If we would not recommend something to a close friend, we will not link to it.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial content is not influenced by affiliate relationships. We do not accept payment in exchange for favorable reviews, and we do not receive free products in exchange for links. Our recommendations are based entirely on quality, relevance, and value to our readers.
Every book and product on this site has been selected because we believe it genuinely serves our audience. We maintain the same standards whether or not a link is affiliate-enabled.
Sponsored and Promotional Content
If Female Obscura ever publishes sponsored content, sponsored videos, or paid promotions, we will disclose that relationship clearly and prominently. Sponsored content will be identified as such using terms such as “sponsored,” “paid promotion,” or similar language.
We do not currently run sponsored content, but we reserve the right to do so in the future. If we do, this page and the relevant content will be updated to reflect that.
How This Protects You
The FTC disclosure requirements exist to ensure you have the information needed to make informed decisions. You should always know:
- When we have a financial interest in a product we recommend
- When content is sponsored or paid for by a third party
- When we have received products for free in exchange for a review

Summary: Female Obscura may earn a commission from affiliate links. This does not affect product prices or our editorial independence. We clearly disclose all material relationships in accordance with FTC guidelines.
