is all about breaking the social taboo attached to the conversations regarding female reproductive system . It is an introductory book not an in-depth one great for teenagers , young adults who are starting to know about their body and also for people who would like to know more. I am awed by the range of topics she has been able to include in this short book.

From understanding the anatomy to how taking care and understanding our own body for a better health is presented here in brief , short and point wise fashion that are not made hard to grasp with excessive details along with high quality illustrations making it a great read for young readers.
There are exactly 100 chapters touching wide range of topics in total five parts.
