Book: Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom
I highly, HIGHLY recommend this book for every woman. I've had it for years (1997) but just received an updated, revised version. (2006) There is also a 2010 that is has even more research/updates ........ but I only just realized it, so I haven't picked up a copy just yet, lol. I am going to be referring to this book a lot as DD makes her way through puberty in the coming years, I'm sure.
Just perusing it, I can tell it is even better than the original.
The dedication alone gave me goosebumps:
“This book is for all who believe that it is possible to live our lives fully regardless of our present or past circumstances.
It is for all who acknowledge the daily presence in our lives of mystery, uncertainty and hope.
It is for those who yearn to be well and know that there is something more to healing than simply external substances or techniques.
This book is for every physician, nurse, health care practitioner, healer or patient who has ever honestly acknowledged how much we don’t know.
It is for those who know that our healing will not be complete until we bring the sacred back into our daily lives.
This book is dedicated with gratitude to the scientists and healers of the past, present and future who have dared and continue to dare to go forward in faith, hope and joy despite the deadening effects of conventional thinking.”
Fair Warning: It's about 900 pages long, but broken down into a lot of easily referenced sections.

I've had that book for years too, FS--my mom gave it to me way back when. I have read different parts of it over the years and understood it differently each time.
I'd agree, it's outstanding. You might not read it all the way thru, but leaving it someplace where you can pick it up and start reading wherever it falls open can yield some great info and insights.

What a great gift from mom! I just saw that she also has a Mother/Daughter book..... I guess I haven't been keeping up!
I don't know why I never thought to share it in all the book threads. It's a staple reference item for me.
