description: Feminist Literature 60's Women's Issues - Health Fitness. This book was one of the Feminists Movement bibles- instrumental in changing the doctor patient relationship between a woman and her health care providers.

This book helped reduce the image of doctors as all powerful authority figures who were not to be challenged.
