I think I'd consider this to be a bit lower than three stars. I love PCRM and I was pretty excited to see what this book was like. It's a bit dull tbh. I know, it's a guide for healthy eating and it has charts and all that in it, so people would probably say it shouldn't surprise me that it was dull, but I've read other books on vegan nutrition that weren't as dull as this. I also noticed quite a bit of reposition in some parts, particularly when synthetic progesterone was mentioned. It was mentioned several times in one section actually. If you'd like to read on nutrition for vegetarians and vegans, I'd suggest reading Becoming Vegan by Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina, or The Vegetarian Way by Mark Messina over this particular book. I know those aren't specifically for women, but they are better.

Excellent recipes. A very calm and gentle campaign for veganism.
