Very helpful book
I purchased this book because I read an article about it in my natural health magazine. It is very helpful to learn why our bodies, as women, do the things they do. She writes in easy to understand terms and is great in helping us all to understand our hormones and our bodies. Maybe with this information we can avoid PMS?!

Primer for men to understand the inner beauty of women
As a happily married male, Dr. Booth's book definitely brought out an unrealized and needed renewal as well as a greater appreciation of the total woman. Of course, I am referring to both the inner and outer beauty.
It was an easy read for someone like me without a medical degree and the vivid testimonials/stories that she shares with the reader keep things light and humorous as well as heartfelt and even a little sad. The scientific/clinical information paired throughout with the true patient cases not only draw you in, but almost makes it challenging to stop reading.
This is definitely something any man who is in a married or dating relationship with a woman should take the time to read if he truly wants to understand his spouse/girlfriend better and to be sensitive to her emotional and physicial cycles.
Best of luck and continued success to Dr. Booth. Hopefully she will write a follow-up in the near future.

For Every Decade
Dr. Booth is my gynecologist. She told me that she has been working on the research and writing of this book for a very long time. She wanted to help women understand what is going on with their bodies throughtout the decades. The book is excellent and I recommend it for any age. I plan to buy and give copies to several of my friends from ages 20-60. Thank you Dr. Booth.

Finally it's all written down!
Dr. Booth delivered my 2nd son 5 1/2 years ago, so I've been getting the information laid down in this book from brief encounters as her patient. I was thrilled and not so terribly surprised when I found that she had published.
A wonderful read. A must read. I wish I had this when I was a teen instead of just now in my late 30s.
