Abstract
"From the publisher's website: From Canadian OB/GYN, women's health advocate and New York Times columnist Dr. Jen Gunter: The Vagina Bible is a comprehensive, accessible antidote to the maelstrom of misinformation around female sexual health, and the ultimate guide to everything a person needs to know about the vagina and vulva.
"We are well into the twenty-first century and have access to more information than ever before, yet many people don't know that a vagina is self-cleaning, condoms should be used with a lubricant, eating sugar doesn't cause a yeast infection, and sex shouldn't be painful. As a physician with twenty-five years of clinical experience, Dr. Jen Gunter is all too familiar with the fears, fallacies and misinformation that abound about vaginal health. On Twitter, she hilariously exposes unscientific wellness advice and debunks potentially harmful and stunningly unnecessary products from "vagina profiteers." Dr. Gunter knows the questions women (and men) have about female sexual health, and in The Vagina Bible, she answers them all.
"For:
- the sixteen-year-old trying to figure out tampons;
- the twenty-six-year-old wondering how to avoid a UTI;
- the thirty-six-year-old trans woman navigating her new anatomy;
- the forty-six-year-old worried about the changing appearance of her vulva;
- the fifty-six-year-old looking into the HPV vaccine for her daughter (and maybe herself);
- the sixty-six-year-old experiencing painful sex;
The Vagina Bible offers a repository of accurate information based on science, and delivered with wit and wisdom. This is the fact-based, inclusive, and empowering guide you deserve to advocate for your own body."--Provided by publisher.

Et si les maladies avaient un sexe? Et si une égalité véritable entre hommes et femmes passait d'abord et avant tout par une meilleure prise en compte de leurs différences? Toutes ces questions sont au c?ur de la médecine différenciée selon les sexes, qui soutient que les maladies diffèrent entre les sexes, que ce soit en termes de prévention et de facteurs de risques, de symptômes et de signes cliniques, de diagnostic et de prise en charge thérapeutique, mais aussi de répercussions sociales et psychologiques. En un mot : hommes et femmes ne tombent pas malades et ne peuvent être soignés de la même façon. Pourquoi? Ce livre est le premier, dans le domaine francophone, à offrir au grand public un panorama clair et stimulant des enjeux, des défis et des promesses portés par ce champ scientifique révolutionnaire.

Après le succès de Ton Petit Look - Guide pour une vie adulte (genre) épanouie, les soeurs Stratis nous reviennent avec un deuxième recueil de textes inédits, touchants et mordants. Cette fois, les célèbres blogueuses se concentrent sur la santé mentale, un sujet qui leur tient particulièrement à coeur. Grâce à des récits infiniment personnels qui mettent à mal les tabous et à des textes contenant des informations ultra-pratiques (mais trop rarement véhiculées), les auteures ouvrent les rideaux et proposent une réflexion sur plusieurs aspects de la santé mentale, tels que son impact sur le quotidien et les relations humaines. Cet ouvrage magnifiquement illustré est rédigé sous le ton de la confidence entre copines (#LaVibeTPL) qui a fait la renommée de Ton Petit Look (TPL), tant sur le Web qu'en librairie.

Abstract
This is an easy to read booklet that offers in-depth information for women struggling with Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) or a more severe form of PMS called Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). Women gain information about how PMS or PMDD affects: their physical health (eg. cramps), emotional health (eg. irritatability), behaviors (e.g feeling overwhelmed), how it interferes in their daily lives and relationships. The booklet explores the various causes believed to magnify PMS symptoms and encourages the reader to evaluate their symptoms using a daily charting method. Women then begin to develp a plan unique to their needs while discovering how they can draw strength and wisdom from their menstrual experiences. Up to date information on self-care strategies such as nutrition, sleep, vitamins and supplements and exercise are offered as well as learning more about how a diagnosis is made and current options for life-style changes and medications.
