Paperback Hardcover The first edition of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom was published in 1994 and was based on Dr. Northrup's many years as an OB/GYN physician. She had seen up close and personal everything that could go wrong with the female body. As a matter of fact, her medical training was based on the concept that the female body is a minefield and everyday occurrences, like the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause, can only be spoken of in the language of pathology and discomfort. Dr. Northrup wanted to change all that, so she exposed these deep-seated and culturally-supported negative beliefs. Because the body is so highly influenced by our beliefs, she knew that if women's experiences were going to change for the better, both healthcare professionals and their patients had to adopt an entirely new way of viewing the female body. And that's what she introduced in the first edition of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom. It's now 16 years later. Since its initial release, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom, an international bestseller, has become and remained the veritable bible of women's health. Now, in this revised and updated edition, world-renowned and much-beloved women's health expert Dr. Christiane Northrup shares with you the latest developments and advances that will maximize your potential for living well in our bodies today. Inside you will discover: New material on sexuality—and how to have a more fulfilling sex life.
