AlbakiReads Editorial

A science guide to the female body

Natalie Angier’s book surveys the female body across a broad range of subjects, from organs, hormones, and sexual response to hysterectomies. Its organizing thread is the distinction between biological information and persistent myths or misinformation about women’s bodies. The publisher describes the book as a science-focused guide, making its scope more explanatory than narrowly focused on one aspect of anatomy or health. This is the revised and updated anniversary edition of a work first presented as a guide to the subject.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in science writing about the female body
  • Readers seeking a broad overview spanning anatomy, hormones, and sexual health
  • Readers interested in how misinformation about women’s bodies is addressed
