Review :
Not as good as the original

I am old enough to own the original version of this book, released in the 1970s. The book was both educational and comforting to me as a young woman looking desperately for information I could trust and understand. So, when one of my favorite nieces became a teenager, I bought the latest version for her. The information, of course, is solid, as we could expect, but the format is so dense, it's unreadable! Instead of the simply written, well laid out book that meant so much to my younger self, this book is more like a textbook to be left on the shelf with all the other texts we tell ourselves we "should read." At a time when women's reproductive rights are under siege, we really need a reliable source of information and support. I wish they offered cliff notes.

Why it's better than the internet

I first read Our Bodies, Ourselves when I was in college and urgently needed to know what was going on with my body and what to look out for during the sexual maelstrom of the 1970s. Thirty five years later, I am buying a copy of the latest edition for my college-aged niece for Christmas, and at her request! I imagine she will read it much as I did -- picking it up to look up a specific question here or there and then getting drawn to read adjacent sections just because they are compelling and she is curious about real life and real people.

She has the option of taking her questions to the internet, which is great. But she wants OBOS because she knows that the information she finds there comes from smart, sex-positive, non-judgmental, feminist women like herself. And she values that as much as I do.

Our Bodies Ourselves

When this book first came out I started giving it as a gift to high school senior girls to take to college with them. First it was my daughters friends and my friends daughters, now it is my grand daughters and my friends grand daughters. This is by far the best reference book on womens bodies that there is available. I am always saddend that there is not one for men. The new edition is up to date but has not lost the emotions of the other editions.
