Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The original edition of 1970's now-classic Our Bodies, Ourselves has sold more than three million copies, and the revised and expanded edition will likely prove equally popular among women of all ages. According to the authors, some of them among the original contributors, knowledge is power, but women will make little change in the medical and health-care industries unless they join forces with other women at home and around the world. Like its predecessor, this volume is wide in scope (but lacking in depth), and has a profoundly feminist perspective as it emphasizes sexual health, reproductive rights, community-based organization and the political, economic and social conditions that limit women's access to quality health care. Much of the new information details recent health research on women's needs and inequities in medical care for men and women, and reflects the experiences of different ethnicities, sexual preferences and economic backgrounds. Women are the primary consumers of health care in the U.S., but, the authors say, they are grossly underserved. In addition, the medical community has viewed many life-stage conditions—pregnancy, premenstrual syndrome, menopause—as illnesses rather than natural processes that require teams of supportive practitioners. The book's rousing political orientation may motivate readers to access the numerous resources listed or the companion OBOS Web site. More than a book, OBOS is a health movement and deserves a place on every woman's bookshelf. (May)

Review

"The best women's health reference book I've ever seen."

-- Julianne Moore

"Our Bodies, Ourselves is the bible for women's health...."

-- Byllye Avery, founder of the National Black Women's Health Project

"A mother lode of information and resources for the client/consumer and the physician."

-- Journal of the American Medical Association

"Nothing is more crucial than women inhabiting our bodies. This book provides the best pathway and tools."

-- Eve Ensler

"Its strength lies not only in the huge amount of information provided but also in the methodology. Topics range from diet and exercise to relationships, motherhood, sexuality, and physical and mental illnesses; coverage of each is exceedingly readable, strikingly comprehensive, and thoroughly documented."

-- Library Journal (starred review)

"More than a book, OBOS is a health movement and deserves a place on every woman's bookshelf."

-- Publishers Weekly
