All Women Should Read This by Mustafa Boudjerada (USA)  5 Stars

An excellent resource by Joseph Crick (Seattle, WA)  4 Stars
September 13, 2008
This is an excellent resource to understand the nature of women's hormones and the menstrual cycle. I highly recommend it for women, and especially men in a relationship with a woman. Men, how can you expect to understand a woman if you don't understand her hormones!!! My only argument with the book is its age, and the fact that some of the medical advice it offers goes against my personal medical philosophy---but, I do admit that's personal on my end, so don't let my 4-star rating discolor what may be for you a 5-star book.
