"A fine book covering a wide swathe of important health and biomedical issues. Each author eloquently deals with the topic at hand, contributing original and scholarly work. Together, they find a niche as a collection of analyses that focuses on the cross-cutting complexities of the recent past in women's health. This is a wonderful collection."
