KPL HealthLink: Hot Off The Press Health (Book review)

Our Bodies, Ourselves
The Boston Women's Health Book Collective

Originally published in 1970, this 40 year old bible for women's health has been completely revised and updated to include the latest information on female bodies, relationships, sexuality, reproductive choices, childbearing, and post-reproductive years. Interestingly, the book also looks at the political issues, social injustices and medical controversies surrounding women's health issues.

Although it serves as a great reference book, it's also enjoyable as a cover-to-cover read. It is well-written in language that is accessible to everyone, and is thoroughly researched providing several pages of resources. The text is loaded with first account stories from women of all ages and backgrounds as well as snip-its of helpful information such as debunked myths, FAQs, recommended reading, quotes and statistics.

The aim of the book is to educate and empower women about their bodies, sexual identities and celebrate their unique experiences - and it succeeds with flying colours.
