The Best Even Written On The Subject

This is without a doubt the best book ever written about the female body, all of it. Extremely objective and easy to understand, it truly is, as advertised, an owner's manual for the woman's unique physiology.No aspect of womanhood is ignored and no judgements are made. The information is clear, direct and helpful. Every woman should have a copy of this book and all men should be required to read it at least once.For parents with children at the onset of puberty, male or female, this is a work that will demystify what their adolescence is about and will make the explanation of growing to adulthood far easier for the parent and easier to understand for the child. The lack of any particular moral datum, objectivity and scientific accuracy make this book ideal for most anyone seeking knowledge without commentary, social or otherwise. Everything from STD prevention to ageing are approached, explained and summarized in comprehensive chapters with precision and compassion. Whether you are just coming to terms with adolescence or are beginning menopause, are beyond menopause or a man desiring to learn more about the enigma that is a female body, read this book.

Greatest book ever written for women's health.

this is the greatest book every written for women's health, along with the updated version, A Woman's Body. Mine is falling apart because it is my bible. Please please please Dr. Lauersen, give us an updated version. Your books are the absolute best.

Every woman should give this book to their daugters!

This is the most helphful book, I have referred to it for over 15 years. About then I became a patient of Dr. Lauersen's (when prior to that I had tried to find a woman Doctor). His writing is easy to understand, compassionate and caring. A man who truly speaks to and cares about women. He understands our bodies and our lives. Every women should own this book - it's timeless!

This is a definate "for keeps" book you will have forever

When I was a teen, a gentlemen my grandfather new who sold books brought some used ones over to his home for us to look through and pick out for free. We did not have much money. Among them was this one, and it has been a guiding light for me for almost fifteen years now. It is quick and easy to use, and written in a kindly, supportive tone.
