Reviews

Thornton sets out to empower women as full partners in their health care. Relying on 20 years of gynecological and obstetric practice and her experience in speaking on women's health issues, she puts forth medical concepts and basics about the workings of the human body in clear, straightforward language that she bolsters with useful charts and diagrams. Her book has six sections, respectively concerned with "the works" (female physiology, pap smears and pelvic exams, breast self-examination, and contraception); all aspects of pregnancy, including unwanted pregnancy; childbirth, from prenatal testing to breast-feeding; "female trouble" (hysterectomy, cancer, and heart disease); menopause, from hot flashes and hormone-replacement therapy to "ooops" babies; and the evaluation of physicians. With its down-to-earth, anecdotal approach, a worthy library resource. Whitney Scott
