Imagine your best friend is a gynecologist and she's willing to answer any question you've ever had about your female anatomy. Now imagine that this gynecologist best friend is also an engaging writer.
Enter Lissa Rankin, M.D., author of "What's Up Down There." I laughed. I cried. I got a hand mirror. (Well, not really. But she does recommend it in Chapter 2 if you're unfamiliar with your anatomy.) Dr. Lissa's book, with its inviting pink cover, starts with anecdotes of her years as a medical resident through her current position of OB/GYN. And man, she has some stories to tell. Her voice is conversational. Her information is medical. Her feminine wisdom is remarkable. No topic involving the female anatomy is off limits. "What's Up" is a series of questions and answers in chapters with titles such as: How Coochies Look, Sex and Masturbation, Fertility, Periods, Childbirth, Boobs, Butts, and Menopause. Seriously, who hasn't had a question about one or more of these topics? Dr. Lissa answered questions I didn't know I had, in a manner in which I'd like to be told. I also learned a whole bunch of nicknames for "vagina." (Thanks for that, Dr. Lissa.) This book left me feeling sexy and confident about all things feminine. I'll be referring it to every woman who comes into my acupuncture clinic, because who doesn't want the facts with a healthy dose of humor! Perhaps you'd like to ask Dr. Lissa your own anonymous question. You can find her book tour schedule here: www.owningpink.com . Thank you for reading. Tamara ZumMallen |
