"Fascinating! I had no idea that hormones were related to steroids and that the search for cortisol, is what led to the discovery of the pill. I would have given this book higher marks if not for the 3-4 chapters on the catholic church and their stance on birth control. Great insight to history of the times of women's reproductive rights. I really liked the conclusion about how we lose our rights to free choice if we start making decisions that no one really knows the "correct" answer to, such as whether to outlaw abortion or not to. HMMM"
"This book is a thorough account of the history of how oral contraception, once considered vulgar and for many years, illegal, became one of the most commonly prescribed drugs for women."
