A great book for women of all ages

We need more books like this... well-illustrated, easy to understand, and highly informative. In fact, I thought it did such a good job explaining the basics of women's health that I bought copies for all my female relatives who span in ages from early 20's to early 70's.

Love the clear explanations

I was initially drawn to this book because a family member had had a stroke and I really appreciated having an explanation that I (and my mother) could understand. The illustrations really make the difference. Although I've only had the book a short while, I've turned to it several more times as other ailments have impacted friends and families. Although the title says it's for Women's Health issues, many of the items discussed impact men as well. The glossary and online resources for more information were really helpful - I would also have liked an index. The only thing I found missing was information on Parkinson's. But overall this is a terrific resource that I highly recommend.

This book is a must read!

This book does an excellent job of explaining the basics in women's health. It provides a core of knowledge from which to begin any discussion with a medical professional whether it be about treatment of a current condition or prevention of future problems. The text is very readable and the illustrations make the presentation complete. Every woman owes it to herself to read this book.

A great resource for all women

I found this book to be effective as both a reference tool, and a text book. The illustrations are well done and easy to understand. The page lay-out is unique and provides a combination of colorful diagrams and interesting facts. I highly recommend it to women, like me, who have limited medical knowledge, but want to understand their bodies.
