At the same time, it expands its appeal by addressing the concerns of an increasingly diverse readership, from lesbians to women of color, from women with disabilities to women of all age groups. <p> Yet the book, by the nonprofit Boston Women's Health Book Collective, remains true to the spirit of those empowering discussions women were first having in the 1960s and 1970s about their bodies: "As the millennium approaches, our original goals for this book remain as important as ever: to fit as much information about women's health between the covers of this book as we can, providing women with tools to enable all of us to take charge of our health and lives; to support women and men who work for progressive change; and to work to create a just society in which good health is not a luxury or a privilege but a human right."<p> By updating and continuing to tackle such topics as body image, sexuality, contraception, childbearing, breast cancer, and the politics of women's health, this edition of <I>Our Bodies, Ourselves</I> keeps giving women the power and the knowledge to take charge of their own health. It remains a valuable resource for women of all ages and backgrounds. 2411579 4 5 1998 Our Bodies, Ourselves for the New Century total:296|5:164|4:94|3:23|2:14|1:1| 296 1294 388 34 4 2 false false Tue May 13 15:07:08 -0700 2008 Wed May 14 07:17:44 -0700 2008
