I could not recommend this text higher. Worth every penny. Basic yet chock full of information. I am a new FNP working in family practice and in Public Health/Family Planning. As such I see a variety of patients and obviously many female patients in need of well-woman checks, contraception, STD testing and treatment, pre and post-natal care, etc. This text provides information on health promotion and management of a variety of healthcare issues. If you work in women's health in any way, I recommend you invest in this book. I also recommend you look into the following books. I have found them to be invaluable as well.

If you have ever picked up a women's gynecology textbook before, read through some chapters and thought to yourself "but what does the WOMAN want?" or "was this written by some old dude who practiced medicine when contraception was still illegal?" or finally: "why is this textbook treating the uterus like it isn't even attached to a human being?" then you need to close that book now (better: glue pages together so nobody can ever read that androcentric dribble again) and pick up Schuiling and Likis' Women's Gynecologic Health. You will be a better provider (and let's face it: person) for it.

This is an in depth look at women's gynecologic health through a feminist perspective. What does that mean? Basically it means working WITH women and not FOR them, throwing out power imbalances in health care interactions, treating women on an individual basis instead of using broad gender assumptions, and the rejection that menstruation, childbirth and menopause are pathologic processes. Awesome, am I right?

Plus, really great chapters on sexuality, health care for lesbians (finally!), intimate partner violence and sexual assault, and female sexual dysfunction along with the normal gynecologic topics: contraception, breast conditions, infertility, unintended pregnancy, gynecologic infections, STI, menstrual cycle pain and discomforts, normal and abnormal uterine bleeding, hyperandrogenic disorders, benign gynecologic conditions, gynecologic cancers, urinary incontinence, and chronic pelvic pain.

Not only will this book help you become an awesome provider and much sought after dinner companion (this has worked for me. My friends love having me over for dinner to ask my advice on their menstrual cycle/birth control/sex lives), but it will also reaffirm you decision to work with women. Huzzah!
