"A wonderful book about women's health issues of crucial importance to us all, particularly the young. While extremely informative, it is written with candor, wisdom, humor, and love. Perfect for my teenage daughter."-Valerie Harper "A clear, readable, and comprehensive book that explains things you never learned in high school-but should have-about your body."-Alan H.
