Lower genital tract precancer, author: A. Singer.......2000-03-28

The excellent value, although this is not the among the less expensive books. A perfect photography (digital) reconstruction made this book/atlas as very valuable guide to clinical experience and practice. In combination with the newest informations and literature of the world (reference cited are just few months old before printing the book), provides a genuine scientific and in many instances confirmed current concepts in premalignant conditions of the female reproductive tract. All and all, the book evryone in obstetrics/gynecology should have in their own libreries.

Book Description

In this national hardcover bestseller, a respected nutritionist offers the first weight-control program specifically designed around the make-up of womens fat cells, which are different from mens. Shocking new evidence reveals that dieting not only makes these cells multiply but makes them even more efficient at storing fat. In a clear, comprehensive way, Debra Waterhouse shows the effects of estrogen, oral contraceptives, pregnancy, menopause, and hormone replacement therapy on fat storage and how the female fat cell thrives on diets.

Best book ever........2007-05-16

This book changed my life. I'm so blown away by what I've been doing to my body and health all these years with yoyo diets and not eating enough.
She has cleared up so much for me and helped me lose weight.
Some pointers...
DON'T DIET! no more counting calories, weighing yourself and yo-yoing, focus on eating when you are hungry, not for emotional or social reasons, and eating during the day and not at night, drink more water, and exercise!!
I learned SO much from this book about my body and HOW i lose weight and store weight. I bought my mom a copy. I truly truly recommend this book to all women who struggle with weight, even those 10 lbs.

Weight Loss that Actually Make Sense!!!.......2006-08-15

If you are ready to get off the diet-train and do something that actually works, READ THIS BOOK. Easy-to-read information with a fresh perspective on why we as women have a more difficult time losing weight than men. She will teach you how to EAT and lose weight. I've lost 10 pounds so far, but more than that, I feel great. Like a lot of women, I have tried every kind of pill, diet craze (remember the cabbage soup diet?), Atkins, Weight Watchers...and on most of them you lose a little, gain back a lot, and are hungry, miserable, and frusterated. This is the first program created for women to teach you how to eat, move, and live for life. This is not a diet. It is a program you do for life, and it truly do-able. No crazy counting, measuring, or supplements. It's easy. This book gives you an honest approach to working with your female body to lose weight, and it's not hard to follow. I'm doing it, and so is my mom and sister, and we all have busy lives and stubborn metabolisms. If we can, you can!

Good advice .......2006-07-14

This is a great book for the fight that most women encounter. Women criticize themselves unmercifully and it's a shame. They get put in a position where they seem to be required to be perfect but given little but their own resources to get to that point.

The best thing about this book that I see is that it is aimed at reducing the amount of stored fat. I doesn't aim at a scale, which is a useless device for this kind of change and doesn't require a starvation diet. She has solid ways to burn fat and to keep it from storing again.

Good work Debra.

FINALLY!!!! REAL help for women!.......2006-03-18

Debra Waterhouse is what we've been waiting for ladies! She explains why female fat cells are different from male fat cells and what we have to do to make them behave. She doesn't just tell you why - she really explains it and gives you the power (knowledge) to turn your life around and be as healty as possible - maybe even a babe too! I just started reading the book, but I heard her talk in person about a month and a half ago and I'm still fired up! Give her a try - a real try - and you won't be sorry - you'll be fabulous!

Outsmarting the Female Fat Cell.......2005-10-18

This is an excellent book and I would recommend it to all women who are fed up with diets that don't work. I am a personal trainer and I have used the information in this book to help many of my clients, with successfull results. This isn't a quick fix plan - it teaches you good eating habits for life and also stresses the impotance of exercise, which is essential for maintaining fat loss.

Book Description

Margaret Sanger, the American birth-control and population-control advocate who founded Planned Parenthood, stands like a giant among her contemporaries. With her dominating yet winning personality, she helped generate shifts of opinion on issues that were not even publicly discussed prior to her activism, while her leadership was arguably the single most important factor in achieving social and legislative victories that set the parameters for today's political discussion of family-planning funding, population-control aid, and even sex education.

This work addresses Sanger's ideas concerning birth control, eugenics, population control, and sterilization against the backdrop of the larger eugenic context.

Customer Reviews:

Feminists: Read this book!.......2006-08-11

This book exposes the fear that is at the heart of the modern reproductive rights movement: fear of female reproductive power. We need a women's movement that allows us to be ourselves, instead of a women's movement that demands that we chemically castrate ourselves. Angela Franks points the way to a new women's movement that is based on what is truly distinctive about women. We need to celebrate motherhood, not fear it. Angela Franks shows that Margaret Sanger and her movement were strongly eugenic, and feared too much reproduction by people they considered unfit. The women's movement has never recovered.

Read Lady Eugenist too.......2005-11-16

Those who're interested in this book might also want to check out a newly released book, Lady Eugenist: Feminist Eugenics in the Speeches and Writings of Victoria Woodhull and a companion book that will soon be released, Free Lover: Sex, Marriage and Eugenics in the Writings of Victoria Woodhull.

In her 1938 autobiography, Margaret Sanger noted that "Eugenics, which started long before my time, had once been defined as including free love and the prevention of conception." Eugenics and free love was a reference to Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to run for President (1872), for a time a fierce advocate of free love, and a life-long advocate of eugenics and state-controlled child rearing. In 1927, in what was perhaps Woodhull's last public statement, she praised Buck v. Bell, a US Supreme Court decision declaring forced sterilization constitutional and, according to the New York Times, told a reporter that she had "advocated that fifty years ago."

The two books mentioned above present detailed evidence that one of the nation's leading feminists was advocating eugenics, then called stirpiculture, in the 1870s, three decades before Francis Galton took up the cause in earnest and four decades before it acquired a significant following in Margaret Sanger and others. That demolishes the argument of those who claim that feminists such as Sanger only adopted eugenic rhetoric because the movement was too powerful to ignore. When Woodhull took up eugenics, she was virtually the only public figure in the U.S. speaking on the topic. She 'mainstreamed' an issue, controlled human breeding, that had previously only been discussed by strange utopian cults on the American frontier, such as the Oneida Community.

The historical reality is that, far from being united in defending 'reproductive freedom,' certain groups of well-connected and powerful women have been some of the strongest proponents of the government limiting the birth rates of women they consider "unfit" or inferior. (You see this in their sneers at 'stay-at-home' mothers.) Newspapers noted that Woodhull attracted those sorts of women in the 1870s-90s when she advocated eugenics. They continued to do so when Charlotte Perkins Gilman promoted negative eugenics in the 1910s, and when Sanger did so with her birth control movement from 1917 on.

Woodhull's speeches and pamphlets also demonstrate that there is a close connection between those who want to control who can have children and those who want to limit the rights of parents to rear their children after they are born, as illustrated by a recent Ninth Circuit decision denying the right of parents to protect their grade-school children from sexual questions. These are most emphatically not people who believe in protecting anyone's "privacy."

Exposing the Agenda of Planned Parenthood's Founder.......2005-04-18

TIME magazine called Margaret Sanger one of the 100 most important people of the 20th century, saying that "her crusade to legalize birth control spurred the movement for women's liberation." While many remember her advocacy for birth control, few remember or give due consideration to the eugenic philosophy that drove Sanger and her allies in the birth control, and later population control or "family planning" movements. This book corrects that significant historical deficit.

In this book, Franks shows that any concern Sanger had for women's rights was secondary to her larger agenda -- helping to create a better race by controlling the fertility of those she saw as society's least "fit" members -- the poor, the disabled, the "feebleminded," the sickly, the epileptic, the alcoholic, etc. Where persuasion worked, that was fine, but as Franks points out, Sanger and her allies were prepared to use coercion when they felt it was necessary to achieve their eugenic aims.

Franks traces what she identifies as the "control movement" from its earliest days in the 1920s when sterilization programs began to spring up in Virginia, Alabama, North Carolina, and later California to the 1990s when U.N. "family planning" money helped support forced sterilizations and abortions in China. Along the way, she identifies the key players, policies, and programs that helped to mainstream many of the ideas that the world once found so abhorrent in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s.

There are those in our modern PC culture that might be tempted to dismiss such charges, but this book is thorough and well documented, with over 1,200 footnotes and a bibliography featuring about a thousand books, articles, and interviews on Sanger, her associates, and the organizations they founded and led.

The tone is academic, but the language is generally accessible, so that both scholars and activists alike will benefit from the reading of it.

Despite Sanger's celebration as a liberator of women and the feminist hagiographies that have been written of Planned Parenthood's founder, Franks argues that Sanger's eugenic ideas are antithetical to freedom and to true feminism, aiming to suppress precisely what it is that makes women women.

Sanger certainly had enormous influence, but before deciding whether that influence was good or bad, one would be well advised to read this book.

Book Description

Nelly Roussel (1878--1922) -- the first feminist spokeswoman for birth control in Europe -- challenged both the men of early twentieth-century France, who sought to preserve the status quo, and the women who aimed to change it. She delivered her messages through public lectures, journalism, and theater, dazzling audiences with her beauty, intelligence, and disarming wit. She did so within the context of a national depopulation crisis caused by the confluence of low birth rates, the rise of international tensions, and the tragedy of the First World War. While her support spread across social classes, strong political resistance to her message revealed deeply conservative precepts about gender which were grounded in French identity itself.

In this thoughtful and provocative study, Elinor Accampo follows Roussel's life from her youth, marriage, speaking career, motherhood, and political activism to her decline and death from tuberculosis in the years following World War I. She tells the story of a woman whose life and work spanned a historical moment when womanhood was being redefined by the acceptance of a woman's sexuality as distinct from her biological, reproductive role -- a development that is still causing controversy today.

Customer Reviews:

Her biographer does an outstanding job of linking Roussel's life and thoughts.......2006-12-12

One of French feminism's most courageous public figures has received relatively little in-depth mention until now: Nelly Roussel's crusade gave women control over their own bodies and sexuality and Blessed Motherhood Bitter Fruit reveals her sacrifices and accomplishments during the process. Roussel was an actress and beauty who defined parameters of the women's movement which would not be realized for over seventy years: she was the first feminist spokeswoman for birth control in Europe and her lectures, essays, and speeches promoted then-radical ways of thinking. Her biographer does an outstanding job of linking Roussel's life and thoughts to her times and the evolving history of the women's movement as a whole, making it a top pick for any definitive women's history collection.

Book Description

With recent "tough on crime" policies of the 1990s, the negative impact on women and children reverberates with social unawareness. Using a feminist perspective , Crime Control and Women explores the adverse effects of the U.S. crackdown on crime. Edited by Susan L. Miller, this book exposes the unintended consequences of today crime control policies: how cuts from social services to pay for crime control can disproportionately affect women; how women incur increased responsibility for family while men serve longer sentences; and how government often victimizes women as third parties when women are associated with criminals.

Using policy-oriented contributions, the book discusses empirically driven and theoretically driven implications of today crime control policies. Miller provides a substantive introductory overview and a concluding summary, creating a cohesive text that emphasizes a reduction in crime through commitments to prevention, education, and treatment.

A timely book, Crime Control and Women is vital for criminal justice academics and practitioners, mental health professionals, and policy makers. It future implications also make it an essential component for courses related to criminology, criminal justice, gender studies, sociology, public policy, and social work.

Provides fascinating views on the anti-crime policies........1998-11-29

Susan Miller has chapters written by some of the most prominent feminist criminologists in the world (the U.S., Australia and the U.K.). The chapters cover a wide range of issues from the "three-strikes" policies (examined by Mona J.E. Danner), to sexual assault prevention efforts by police (evaluated by Elizabeth Stanko). This book is indispensible for all those concerned about what this 'war on crime' is costing. I require my students to read this book because the chapters provide fresh, fascinating and provocative perspectives on many legal issues. I will discuss a two.

First, Danner examines the impact that "Three-Strikes" legislation has on women in society. The three strikes against women are as follows: that incarcerating men for longer terms results in more and more women becoming single parents without adequate financial support from their partners; that financing this policy results in brutal reductions in social services that poor women rely on for basic subsistence survival; and, that the new "jobs" created in the prison-industrial complex leaves most women out of jobs, especially when viewing the gender ratio of employees in this field. So, it's three-strikes and women are out.

Second, Stanko describes and criticizes a recent trend in British policing, where police departments are producing brochures describing what women can do to protect ourselves from sexual assault. The brochures, available at many police departments in England, offer advice for women to not venture outside at night, especially alone, to enroll in self-defense classes, and take "proper" care of ourselves in other ways. The criticisms of such brochures, Stanko illuminates, are that such focus on individual women to curtail our outings, reinforces the myth that sexual assault is mostly a problem of "unknown" assailants, when in fact most sexual assault perpetrators are well-known to victims. Furthermore, by targeting the brochures at women as potential victims, the police are reinforcing many of the victim-blaming messages already abundant ("How could she be so stupid to be out at night by herself?" or "Well, if she'd known how to defend herself, it wouldn't have been that bad." etc.) This, then, removes the responsibility from police to adequately prevent violence against women, and places it squarely in the lap of women. Another criticism that Stanko makes is that rather than focusing on the supposedly risky actions of women, the police really should focus much more effort at men's behavior and attitudes that promotes, excuses, and legitimates violence against women.

Along with these are equally incisive chapters on other topics, such as: Civil Forfeiture of Property, Boot Camps, highly publicized rape cases (New Bedford, Central Park and Bensonhurst), community policing, the war on drugs, women in prison, masculinities and communitarian control, and a final essay "connecting the dots" by premier feminist criminologist Claire Renzetti.

Book Description

In this richly detailed and imaginatively researched study, Victoria Bynum investigates "unruly" women in central North Carolina before and during the Civil War. Analyzing the complex and interrelated impact of gender, race, class, and region on the lives of black and white women, she shows how their diverse experiences and behavior reflected and influenced the changing social order and political economy of the state and region. Her work expands our knowledge of black and white women by studying them outside the plantation setting.

Bynum searched local and state court records, public documents, and manuscript collections to locate and document the lives of these otherwise ordinary, obscure women. Some appeared in court as abused, sometimes abusive, wives, as victims and sometimes perpetrators of violent assaults, or as participants in ilicit, interracial relationships. During the Civil War, women freqently were cited for theft, trespassing, or rioting, usually in an effort to gain goods made scarce by war. Some women were charged with harboring evaders or deserters of the Confederacy, an act that reflected their conviction that the Confederacy was destroying them.

These politically powerless unruly women threatened to disrupt the underlying social structure of the Old South, which depended on the services and cooperation of all women. Bynum examines the effects of women's social and sexual behavior on the dominant society and shows the ways in which power flowed between private and public spheres. Whether wives or unmarried, enslaved or free, women were active agents of the society's ordering and dissolution.

Such an interesting, gripping book!.......2002-05-14

This secondary source was truly unique and different from all women's history book that I have ever read. It gives a detailed view of atypical and deviant women who engaged in behaviors that were controversial during the Antebellum period. I used this when I was writing a report on deviant women of the south. This book takes place in North Carolina becuase N.C. has the most records of divorce, miscegenation, etc. She uses court cases and divorce records and compares different counties and thier court rulings. This book is an excellent source for reports and entertainment. It never bores and keeps you reading and educated all the way.
