Book Review & Giveaway: The Uterine Health Companion
Author: Eve Agee, PhD
What it’s all about: The uterus! In many cultures it’s considered the center of the body and a source of power, but in Western medicine the uterus is often ignored or considered a “polluting factor for women’s health” (remember hysteria?). The author, a medical anthropologist and holistic healer, encourages you to celebrate your uterus and offers in-depth guidance for optimal uterine health.
Who it’s for: If you have a uterus, this book is for you! You’ll learn how to maintain uterine health through cognitive restructuring and visualization, nutrition, posture, and bodywork. Women with uterine health conditions such as menstrual cramps, endometriosis, and fibroids, will find detailed chapters on holistic approaches to improving their well-being. Each section is chock-full of useful information presented in a positive, empowering way.
Why you should check it out: With full chapters on menstruation, fertility, and menopause, this book makes a great reference for all stages of life. Plus, the author draws from a unique base of experience and knowledge: she was born in the Ozarks, conducted women’s health research in the United States and Africa, served in the Clinton Administration, and is a certified Spiritual Life Coach.
Take a look: Alex recently attended a discussion led by the author at In Other Words, a feminist bookstore just down the block from GladRags HQ. The reading and discussion were great! Agee lead the all-woman group in an open and honest way, and created a safe conversation space where we could say what was on our minds. The ease of the discussion really mirrored the book’s friendly and informative approach.

Wow! This would be lovely! I was thrilled to discover GladRags about 3 months ago… Where have they been all my life?!! Really happy that the company is helping to spread awareness about things women should know.

A copy would be welcome. I absolutely abhor being a woman sometimes, but learning about my “girly parts” would be interesting.

awesome book to be written. the line, “If you have a uterus, this book is for you!” cracked me up. considering i bleed irregularly at times, and occasionally have fairly bad cramping, the guide appears beneficial.

Looks very interesting. I had a myomectomy in 2007 to remove five fibroids, and would love to read about alternatives to surgery.
