The information in this book is based on the latest research, explained in an easy to read manner and with plenty of personal, fact-based and funny anecdotes.  The facts are put in perspective and emphasize that just because something is true on average, it does not necessarily make it true for you as a person.

This book explains the continuous transformation of the female body. We all know that it changes cyclically every month during the reproductive years, and that it completely transforms during the major transition phases: puberty, pregnancy and menopause. However, most of us ignore the fascinating details. What triggers those changes and what are the sometimes unexpected consequences?
