3.5 stars
Informative book on the female brain and how hormones affect much of our lives.
In all fairness, I skipped a lot of the chapters that I didn't need to read or didn't interest me (development in utero, childhood, pregnancy and motherhood); I concentrated on the chapters on the menstrual cycle and menopause which were very good but there is still many information gaps out there. McKay herself points out that medical research has always been dominated by and geared towards cis gender males, particularly in medical trials, which leaves gaping holes when it comes to knowledge regarding the female of the species.
Good book, accessible information, easy to read.
