A PERFECT PRIMER FOR REFRAMING WOMEN'S APPROACH TO HEALTH.

THIS BOOK ALLOWS THE LAY PERSON TO LOOK AT THE WAY THE SOCIETY VIEWS WOMEN AND THEIR HEALTH PROBLEMS. IT SHOWS US THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENT WAY OF INTERACTING WITH ONE'S PHYSICIAN AND THAT IT'S UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE A DOCTOR THAT WON'T WORK WITH AND FOR THEIR PATIENT. THE LANGUAGE OF THIS BOOK IS DOWN AND DIRECT AND IS A WONDERFUL INVITATION TO FURTHER EXPLORATION OF THE MEDICAL ENVIRONMENT BOTH FOR MEN AND WOMEN, BUT ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN.
