Rezensionen

"Women's health is traditionally structured around a series of milestones within a reproductive cycle, and women's voices are muted by the plethora of information that saturates society. Christodoulou seeks to remedy this by hearing the voices of women and in so doing she considers the role of health experiences in women's everyday lives. This positioning is both refreshing and powerful." - Community, Work and Family
