When Abortion Was a Crime: Women, Medicine, and Law in the United States, 1867-1973

When Abortion Was a Crime is the must-listen book on abortion history. Originally published ahead of the thirtieth anniversary of Roe v. Wade, this award-winning study was the first to examine the entire period during which abortion was illegal in the United States, beginning in the mid-nineteenth century and ending with that monumental case in 1973. When Abortion Was a Crime is filled with intimate stories and nuanced analysis, demonstrating how abortion was criminalized and policed-and how millions of women sought abortions regardless of the law. With this edition, Leslie J. Reagan provides a new preface that addresses the dangerous and ongoing threats to abortion access across the country, and the precarity of our current moment. While abortions have typically been portrayed as grim 'back alley' operations, this deeply researched history confirms that many abortion providers-including physicians-practiced openly and safely, despite prohibitions by the state and the American Medical Association. With the right to abortion increasingly under attack, this book remains the definitive history of abortion in the United States, offering vital lessons for every American concerned with health care, civil liberties, and personal and sexual freedom.

Menopause Bootcamp: Optimize Your Health, Empower Your Self, and Flourish as You Age

The doctor known for her “Menopause Bootcamp” gatherings, shares her 360-degree holistic approach to this natural life stage in this empowering and joyful guide to help women not just survive this physiological and psychological transition, but thrive. Over the course of her twenty-year medical career, Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz noticed a shocking dearth of information and support for women beginning and experiencing menopause. For too long, this crucial stage in women’s lives has been given perfunctory notice in medical schools and is often either a hidden secret or the punchline to a joke—denying women the information and support they need. This disregard, coupled with the unconscious misogyny and ageism that run rampant in our culture, portrays menopause as something to be afraid of, and worse, adds a patina of shame around the blessing of aging and the beginnings of a new, normal, and enriching phase in a woman’s life. Known across Los Angeles for her Menopause Bootcamp retreats, Dr. Suzanne, as her patients call her, believes that the 27 million women entering menopause each year deserve thoughtful, candid, modern, holistic information about the physical and psychological issues that arise in this transitional stage, including changes in libido, metabolism, body image, and fears over genetic age-related illnesses. She contends that menopause is a whole life condition and deserves a wide-ranging approach that combines meditation, yoga, therapy, herbal supplements, along with the most-up-to-date science and conventional medical solutions. Packed with answers to common questions and helpful insights, infused with Dr. Suzanne’s expert, but warm, and sometimes, laugh-out-loud honesty, Menopause Bootcamp is a welcome invitation to embrace and even celebrate this remarkable developmental phase in the lives of women. It’s a welcome reminder that life doesn’t end at menopause—it’s the start of something new and wonderful. Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook

Sztuka obsługi waginy

Wagina często traktowana jest przez kobiety użytkowo, myta, depilowana, a nawet operowana, by sprostać męskim wyobrażeniom. Bywa nazywana sromem – jak sromotna klęska. Albo – pochwą. Jak futerał na miecz, czyli dodatek do męskiej seksualności. Ciekawe, że istnieją członkowie zarządu, a nie ma pochew zarządu. Jeśli kobieta nie podchodzi z akceptacją, a nawet dumą do swojej waginy, nie osiągnie pełnej satysfakcji z seksu (a wraz z nią osoba, z którą go uprawia). Ani w życiu osobistym. Ani w pracy. Bo wulwa, piękna, niesamowita, niemająca sobie równych pod względem anatomicznym (penis nie jest bynajmniej tak skomplikowany!), to źródło kobiecej siły. Ta książka to rozmowa seksuologa i psychoterapeuty z dziennikarką i psycholożką o tym, jak osiągnąć orgazm; jak podtrzymać pożądanie w związku; czy kochanka trzeba zdobyć, czy lepiej go zwyczajnie wynająć. To także próba odpowiedzi na pytania: jak radzić sobie z molestowaniem; jak zadbać o swoje interesy w związku i poza nim; jak i czym się masturbować; dlaczego czasem warto wdać się w romans z drugą kobietą, nawet, gdy uważamy się za stuprocentowe heteryczki; jak cieszyć się seksualnością w trakcie menopauzy, choroby, depresji i problemów partnerskich. Audiobook „Sztuka obsługi waginy” to poradnik i dla kobiet, i dla mężczyzn. Nikt nie przychodzi na świat z instrukcją obsługi waginy. A warto ją poznać, bo wulwa to morze możliwości, wulkan energii i ocean doznań.
