reviewed A Darker Ribbon: A Twentieth-Century Story of Breast Cancer, Women, and Their Doctors on March 10, 2014 A Darker Ribbon: A Twentieth-Century Story of Breast Cancer, Women, and Their Doctors
I am a little biased because the author is my doctor, but I have also struggled with menstrual cycle abnormalities my entire post-pubescent life. In this book, Booth not only explains the cycle, using the names of Greek goddesses to highlight each "phase", but she gives a practical guide to taking control of your own cycle and not letting it get the better of you (which I have been doing for so many years). This includes a proper diet, exercise, mental health, etc. She also details some of the "bad" effects of hormones and ways you can help to lessen those.
She follows the Venus Week throughout the lifespan of your 20's, 30's, 40's and then through menopause. Whether your goal is to not get pregnant, get pregnant, increase your libido, get through menopause, or what have you, you can learn ways to achieve your goals in this book.
I recommend this book for any woman, whether or not you have difficulties, as I'm sure you can learn something about your own "Venus" from reading it.
