At the moment I will only give a rating to the book and I hope it is possible for me to write down my reviews on Amazon. Barnes and Noble and Goodreads. I am very grateful to you because your publications are great, especially in the topics that interest me most. Thanks and blessings.

All along, and ever more often, every time we women breathe our frustrations, we feel asked whether we have menstruation, or, if just slightly older, whether we are going to menopause. And still today, as in the past, we hear that a woman is not suitable for jobs of responsibility because once a month she becomes crazy. Well, I have never felt crazy and I've always looked for (and gotten, because I have what is called a shit personality and don't get me put under easily) roles of responsibility. Perhaps the reason is, as a trained chemist, have I never believed in lie? Yet belive it so many women and so many men, and it seems that their numbers are growing. In simple and clear words, Robyn Stein DeLuca unmasks the hormone myth and breaks it apart using what is the simplest technique of investigation: looking for money. And on women's health, a lot of money has been earned.
To read, absolutely.
I thank New Harbinger Publications, Inc. and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

It was an interesting read. The negative stereotypes sometimes go unnoticed, this book will definitely make you rethink society.

This qualifies as one of the best books I've read in recent times! It's a great argument for feminism and it demolishes so many myths and narratives that have been internalized by women in a fairly simple way. I love the appendix on how to spot junk science as well. I would recommend this to any woman (or man, for that matter), but especially to young adults and teenagers who are beginning to get to know their bodies. We could all use a lesson in gender equality education, and this book takes a right step in that direction.
