A New Edition
by The Boston Women's Health Book Collective
A revised, expanded edition of the 1970's classic.
'The book's rousing political orientation may motivate readers to
access the numerous resources listed or the companion OBOS Web site.
More than a book, OBOS is a health movement and deserves a place on
every woman's bookshelf.' - Publishers Weekly.
'Somewhat more psychosocial in approach than The New Harvard Guide
to Women's Health (2004), this remarkable and necessary resource is
recommended for all libraries and for individual purchase.' -
Library Journal.
