Turns out there is a newer version then this one and its not available any place online so I spent extra on a book I dont need..spent $100 at the college book store on the new one. Make sure to verify this is the book your professors are using. The new edition has a whole new chapter on holistic health that this one doesnt include.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible choice for required reading, November 14, 2010

I personally cannot stand this book. It's used for a college class on Women's Health at a local community college in conjunction with another book by a different Author, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, and could not be further from what I would want to read in a health class. Everything is skimmed over, very little detail and is very biased. It's like a government pamphlet on all issues related to women's health presented in a very dated fashion. I think there is much evidence to support that the data is flawed and I feel like this book is written by someone an author who cannot think for themselves and simply swallows up whatever mainstream medical data is available. Don't waste your money if you don't have to.

Clearly the author of this book is a burn your bra feminist. Some of the things mentioned in this book was totally liberal, and politically motivated. Some of the things she says are totally false and not based off of REAL science. This book is CRAP. If it's required for a class, make sure you buy the LEAST inexpensive one and do what you have to do to pass the class.
