Omschrijving
In this incredibly interesting book, Dr Gunter takes readers on a factual and fun-filled journey explaining everything from reproductive health to vaginal steaming . . . This book debunks myths and helps to educate everyone on this very important body part. A must-read.
Covering everything from your reproductive system to the vaginal microbiome, Dr Gunter has created a genuinely compelling resource on the female anatomy that's a refreshing read.
Dr Jennifer Gunter is the world's most famous - and outspoken - gynaecologist. And she's on a mission to empower women with medical facts, taking on wellness gurus, old wives' tales, the patriarchy and jade eggs along the way.
In The Vagina Bible, Gunter tries to dismantle some of the common misconceptions about vaginal health, touching on everything from what kind of underwear women should be wearing (spoiler: whichever kind you want) and vaginoplasty.
Dr Jen Gunter deals in straight-talk, hard facts and medical science.
Consider this book your no-nonsense 'vagenda'.
The Vagina Bible aims to empower women with a source they can trust, spanning topics from painful sex to cosmetic vaginal surgery.
Gunter has revived a conversation initiated by feminists in the 1960s and 1970s and that can only be a positive action for health. Long may it continue.
The Vagina Bible tells you everything you need to know about the vagina, from hygiene to menstruation, STIs and menopause.
Empowerment of women through accurate information about their own bodies is the 'vagenda' of ob-gyn and New York Times columnist Gunter's comprehensive, pseudoscience-bashing discussion of all things vaginal and vulvar . . . Gunter approachably, respectfully, and even playfully presents a huge amount of reproductive and sexual health education information to women, with the assurance that they can use it.
Jen Gunter, MD, is an OB/GYN and a pain medicine physician. She writes a lot about sex, science, and social media, but sometimes she writes about other things because, well, why not? She has been called Twitter's resident gynecologist, the Internet's OB/GYN, and one of the fiercest advocates for women's health. She first started her quest to help provide quality information by writing The Preemie Primer, a guide for parents of premature babies. In addition to her academic publications, her writing has appeared in places like The New York Times, The Cut, USA Today, The Hill, and Self. She has taken on politicians, celebrities, and the press over misinformation and fake news about women's health care.
Dr. Gunter was born and raised in Winnipeg, Canada, and graduated from The University of Manitoba School of Medicine in 1990 at the age of 23. In 1995 she completed her OB/GYN training at the University of Western Ontario and moved to the United States to complete a fellowship in infectious diseases at the University of Kansas. After completing her fellowship she continued studies in pain medicine. She is board certified in OB/GYN in both Canada and the United States. She is also board certified in pain medicine. Dr. Gunter lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her two sons, her chocolate lab, and her one-eyed cat Luna.
