The topic of this book is intensely relevant. I did not enjoy this book for its writing or structure- it seems hastily put together & needed a restructure, re-write & research with more depth. Its publication does, however, hopefully signal an opening up of the issue of how we discuss, research, diagnose, & treat women's health. In this sense it attempts to make a critical contribution to the gender equality and public health debate. Ask any woman about the themes in this book and it will resonate with their personal experience or the personal experience of a close female relative/friend.
