The perfect antidote to the random misinformation girls piece together at school and from friends, this book dispels common myths while providing a broad overview of a woman s cycle. Each chapter includes a section with advice on how to cope with common period problems and there is even a description of what to expect if a doctor's visit proves necessary."
