This is a very informative book. So much information about women and how we work has yet to be discovered but when it is it makes understanding yourself a lot easier. I think everyone should read this just to understand what happens to women and possible reasons why. Also the book is written in such an easy to understand way that it didn't feel like it was written for a specific group of people.

"Here's the problem: Explaining female behavior -- particularly behavior that is seen as overly aggressive, unbalanced, or somehow out of character for that girl or woman -- by attributing it to sex hormones is a gross and damaging oversimplification."
"But I've come to see that the facts get cherry-picked, then lost in a volatile mix of sexual politics."

Interesting book with a unique perspective aligning with the arise of "divine femininity," an idea in which women can embrace their stereotypical feminine attributes while also being a feminist.

I’ve loved learning more about women’s health, hormones, and the menstrual cycle and would recommend this book. I gave it four stars because there were parts I skipped, but overall I learned a lot and started noticing patterns in myself that were explained in the book.

Interesting, important and potentially empowering topic. Unfortunately, the excessive repetition and conjecture irritated me a fair bit.

I really liked this book. Very informative as well as entertaining. I wouldn't say it's ground-braking, but since I was (apparently) quite clueless about my own body, I ended up learning a lot of stuff.
