EXCELLENT. . . . REALISTIC. . . . AN EXCITING ADVENTURE.

EXCELLENT. . . . REALISTIC. . . . AN EXCITING ADVENTURE into territory we should all know better. This excellent collection is an important antidote to the neglect, misunderstanding, and ridicule that women's physiological processes have received historically. A WONDERFUL RESOURCE FOR THERAPISTS, RESEARCHERS, AND INSTRUCTORS OF WOMEN'S STUDIES, SEXUALITY, PSYCHOLOGY, OR HEALTH COURSES. The information is easily understandable to a more general audience and also provides stimulating insights into mother-daughter relationships." (...)

A DEFINITIVE RESOURCE ON WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH.

"A DEFINITIVE RESOURCE ON WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH. . . . Brings this topic out of the closet. . . . The coverage is excellent, spanning the adolescent experience of menarche and moving from pregnancy issues to menopause and beyond. The chapter authors are clearly experts on their topics, and this edited book is admirable in its philosophical coherence. Feminist therapists working with young girls, women in their reproductive years, and older women will find clear information about how to understand and affirm their clients' experiences."
