4.0 out of 5 stars Good basic text but not enough depth, January 3, 2007

This review is from: Women's Gynecologic Health (Hardcover)

I found this text has good basic information for students at an undergraduate and lay persons. It's 2006 release date insures it's resources and sources are up-to-date. The information is culturally sensative and addresses gynacological care for women with a range of sexual orientations.

However, this text's major disadvantage is it's lack of detailed and color pictures and illustrations. It does have good charts that organise information. I also find this text is too basic a reference for graduate level students entering health sciences such as Women's Health Nurse Practitioners.

This review is from: Women's Gynecologic Health (Hardcover)

This is truly a women's oriented text, written from a feminist's perspective. The writing is fresh, interesting and always attentive to cultural competency and sexual orientation.
