I’m really immersed in this book straight away. Dr. Tang’s passionate introduction and mission are compelling!

Thank you for choosing such an important topic and book. I haven't bought it yet, but I will now that I know of it.

Is anyone aware of the slight changes in the title in other prior-release versions of the book? The main change is from “gynecologic” to “reproductive”.

I wonder if that’s indicative of the stance the book takes or not, meaning, I wonder if the focus is more on reproductive and fertility health versus overall health and the happenings of these organs without reproduction being the main focus and concern.

For instance, I have these organs of concern, but am not concerned with my fertility / reproduction as I am the overall health of these organs that could perform this function and how to best keep myself healthy as someone having them! I’d like to know before I read, if possible.

Thanks xx

Hello! Just popping on here to say that I FINALLY got my copy from the library (there is quite the waitlist). I'm excited to start reading this! I'll get to it soon and share my thoughts when I'm done :)

Also, Arden! Just looking at the table of contents, this book definitely isn't just about reproduction/fertility stuff. Just some of the topics this book covers are: anatomy, endometriosis, PMS/PMDD, menopause, cancer, birth control, hysterectomy, and abortion. Hope that helps!

Hi Roslin! Thank you for that — it helps a lot! I’m gonna get on my library’s site now to see if I can put it on hold!

No problem!!
