Summary: AN EXTENSIVE RESOURCE BOOK FOR EVERY WOMAN!
Comment: Of all the books written by Christiane Northrup, this one is my favourite. Why? The reason is simply that it shares advice on such an extensive range of topics, i.e., childbirth, infertility, PMS, cancer, fibroids, depression, perimenopause, menopause, etc. There is virtually something to be found for every woman in this well-written book. The fact the auther is a medical doctor(gynecologist) is another huge plus. The view point is not based solely on personal opinion but also comes from factual medical research.

I very much liked the attitude of this author. While some may view it as a feminist approach, I truly did not see it in that light. From psychological studies, it has become apparent that several women's emotional problems do, in fact, stem from a patriarchal society. Remember, in days gone by, it was believed a woman's primary place was in the home. She gave birth, nurtured the children, cooked, cleaned, maintained the home and obeyed her husband. She virtually had no identity of her own; she became an extension of her husband's persona. The positive or negative roles your parent(s)played during the critical, formative childhood years, and how they interacted within the family unit, have a bearing on the person you are today.

For many in today's modern-day world, society, roles and family structures have changed, indeed, from the traditional family. In many two-parent families where both are low income earners, it often takes two working parents to provide for the necessities. The additional stress can often result in depression, anxiety and other emotional problems which, in turn, can lead to physical problems. All this considered, the author is not taking a "feminist approach," but a realistic approach that conforms to our modern-day society. The book covers both physical and emotional issues, and explains how some of issues inter-relate. I highly recommend this complete, informative book to any woman of any age.

Summary: Attention: Women of the World
Comment: Please don't shy away from this alternative health guide. If you are like me, and are drawn towards a holistic lifestyle, but aren't quite the hardcore type to join a group of people for a spiritual retreat in the hills, this book is for you. It's holistic, but not overboard, and should be required reading for anyone who is studying to become a gynecologist, or who is training in any medical field. Doctor, or homemaker every women would benefit from a strong knowledge of their own bodies, and minds.
It's a huge book, but don't be overwhelmed. It doesn't have to be read strait through. Just choose a chapter of interest and start from there. Before I knew it I had the entire book highlighted. I am much more confident with who I am and how my body works. If I have a medical concern I can enter the doctors office with my own opinions. I've learned to trust my innate wisdom.
This should belong on the bookshelves of all women, and passed down to our daughters.
