A review by michelleflaherty
Woman: An Intimate Geography by Natalie Angier

4.0

I liked this book and I think I learned a lot. For me, the shortcomings are that the metaphors are often way over the top and there are lots ranty bits that are more about the authors personal opinions than about anything scientific or objective. It deals with a huge variety of topics, from oddly varied perspectives: biological, sociological, evolutionary, anecdotal. A lot of it is about women's reproductive health, seen from the perspective of a middle aged woman. So nothing about birth control and lots about estrogen replacement treatments.
