Synopsis: This comprehensive official women's health resource will cover a broad range of issues affecting women of all ages. From the Nation's leaders in women's health, the Guide covers topics ranging from violence against women to cancer and heart disease, providing easy-to-understand explanations as well as practical tips. Readers will also find personal health stories from women around the country, charts showing which medical tests are needed, and when, and ways to find more helpful information. As gatekeepers of their family's health, women will also find resources for caring for the men and children in their lives.
