Six years after the 2005 overhaul of this classic guide to women's health, women everywhere will be ready for another revised and updated edition. With 30% revised material and roughly 25 new photographs, the 2011 edition will focus on what OBOS does best: provide information on women's reproductive health and sexuality; practical information on how to find and access health information; and resources, stories, and information to educate women about health care injustices and inspire them to work collectively to address them.

Women have trusted Our Bodies, Ourselvesfor decades to provide the most honest and up-to-date information on everything from emotional well-being to birth control. Now the editors of the "bible" of women's health have created a book focused entirely on pregnancy and childbirth. This book educates readers by bringing them the most trustworthy information available and confronts misinformation and scare tactics. The guide provides the latest, evidence-based information in clear, accessible language; including the voices of diverse women sharing their experiences.

A handbook based on the best-selling women's health-care reference, tailored to the specific needs of menopausal readers, places an emphasis on self-care and prevention strategies, in a guide that covers such topics as emotional well-being, birth control, and hormone replacement therapy. Original. 60,000 first printing.
