Dr. Anjum Shaikh's EmpowHER: wellness, hygiene & YOU is a remarkable book that addresses essential aspects of female hygiene with clarity and compassion. The author's extensive experience as a public health expert shines through as she guides readers on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. The book is structured in a way that makes it easy to read and understand, even for those who are not well-versed in health literature. With practical tips and myth-busting insights, this book is an invaluable resource for women of all ages. It's a quick read, yet packed with crucial information that inspires and empowers.
I could have enjoyed + learnt a little more from this book with its emphasis on separate chapters separately. The same template might not have done justice to each of them. This is what I think personally. Otherwise, Dr Anjum's work is a good to go guide for women who are concerned about their health and hygiene. Very few authors write with this clarity of thoughts. Well-done, author!

The moment this book came to my notice (for a review), I couldn't ignore it!
The title, the cover design, and the promises made on the page with list of chapters. And the book, believe me, did surpass my expectations. As a reader, you may rejoice and learn at the same time. The author has taken care of many concerns related to women hygiene. The method to disseminate facts, burst the bubbles of myth, and empower women to leap beyond the taboos... everything in the book was amazing. The only shortcoming I could think of was that the chapters, especially the ones dealing with emotional well-being, cultural and social challenges, could have been longer to serve the purpose better.
Overall, Dr. Anjum Shaikh's attempt is appreciable, admirable and readable. Recommended to all women and young ladies out there!

I enjoyed reading this book. Learnt many things. Appreciate many points. However, as a young woman myself, I would like to make a few points.

For newly married women, this book is a comprehensive guide that addresses crucial aspects of health and well-being. Dr. Anjum Shaikh provides practical advice on intimate hygiene, sexual health, and pregnancy care, making it an invaluable resource for women transitioning into married life. The book's clear and compassionate approach helps women understand their bodies better and encourages open communication about health topics that are often considered taboo. Dr. Shaikh’s expertise and accessible writing make this book a must-read for newly married women looking to prioritize their health and well-being.

Do gift your newly married friends a copy of this amazing book!

[Ambika Sharma · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dr. Anjum's book is a very important addition to the genre of women health and overall women hygiene. She has divided her book in a very useful manner. Discussing physical and mental well-being of women, with various aspects, one by one. The author has tried to deal with subjects considered taboos and otherwise ignored in public discourse.
The book isn't that lengthy and neither it sounds overtly academic or scholarly. The language used by Dr Shaikh is accessible and I believe anyone, from a teenager girl to a grown up woman, can understand what the author wants to convey. She has dealt with menstrual health, care during pregnancy, intimate well-being, menopause, and more subjects women must understand.
Overall, a helpful book that women (and even men who care about women) must read!

[Kajal Agarwal · Rating 4 out of 5]

I just liked the book... it is worth reading. And worth mentioning that I am reading something worthwhile after a few months. Dr Shaikh's book is educational, informative, and must-share, to say the least. It is truly empowering, as the title mentions. It discusses many things about women and their hygiene. Things that we seldom discuss in the mainstream. The best part is that the book covers women from young age to their menopause. Truly remarkable to author something that all women can sit and read. However, I could have found it even better had the book not worked on the same template for every chapter. It could have been refreshing to develop separate styles for separate issues. Still, it is a wonderful book!

[Sima Reader · Rating 5 out of 5]

It is perfect for busy women who need reliable information without wading through overly academic text. The book covers a wide range of topics, from intimate health to emotional well-being, in a way that is both empowering and informative. While it might benefit from varied stylistic approaches across chapters, its current format ensures consistency and clarity. Truly a worthwhile addition to any woman's reading list. Get a copy now, girls! :)

[Khusboo · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was impressed by how engaging and educational this book is. Dr. Shaikh's writing makes it easy to understand important health topics that are often overlooked. This book is a great starting point for anyone wanting to learn more about women's health. The major strength of this book lies in the part that it is accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of English. It does not enforce the medical lexicon on readers. Simple and plane English that any school girl, housewife or otherwise understand.
However, I would surely love if the author could increase the length of her coverage according to the issues being dealt with.
Overall, a wholesome pocket-book on women health and hygiene. Totally recommended!

[Mugdha Singh · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have tried to reflect how this book may be particularly valuable to young girls. It can be read and appreciated by anyone.

[Ashish · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an amazing, quick-read, and authentic book for women and young girls who are curious about their well-being, hygiene, emotional health and way more. Dr Anjum Shaikh has kept this book clutter-free, as simple as it could be, and precise. Rather than reading some dossiers and treatises, this to-the-point book will be very helpful to women. My sister, who is married and blessed with 2 lovely kids, liked this one a lot. And I am pretty sure she will discuss it with her friends.
As a guy, even I found this book busting myths and dogma around women health – be it intimate health or the much-ignored-publicly menstrual hygiene. Kudos to the author!

[Deepika · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dr Anjum has written in a really well fashion! Readers, mostly women – working, housewives, college students or otherwise – have little to very short time to read something. And this book, EmpowHER, is optimised, if I may put it this way. There are precisely and accurately named chapters, measured number of pages, and a book that is not overall bulky... and it must be read by women especially. The book will be like a helpful guide for anyone who is looking to understand women body, methods to take care of the same, and healthy habits for hygiene. The author has put everything in a very accessible manner and readers will surely love it. Recommended!

A very approachable and balanced book as far as content, presentation and narrative go. Dr. Anjum's writing style is easy to follow, convenient to read and pretty simple to understand. Even the sections where she has tried to bust myths circling women hygiene have come out wonderfully. Somewhere around 130 pages in the Kindle edition, I liked reading it right from the moment I began. Finishing the book might not take more than 2-3 hours if you are an avid reader. Thanks to Dr. Anjum Shaikh for writing such a wonderful book... well-done!

[Arushi Sharma · Rating 5 out of 5]

Easily one the best books I have read recently! The author makes everything simple, clear, and very easy to understand even for those who don't know the academic abc of this subject – hygiene, wellness and health. I liked the idea.
Women health, hygiene and wellness, physical and emotional, are certainly not much debated and discussed in the public discourse. This book will be a good help for those who are in their teens, early in the marriage, or even at the later stages of their lives. Dr. Anjum's book will be a companion to every woman.
