This guide, offered from the Office on Women's Health, is intended to provide women of all ages, economic backgrounds, and ethnicities with general health information.

The work is arranged into more than 20 chapters that address diseases (e.g., heart disease, type 2 diabetes, blood disorders, HIV/AIDS), woman-specific health concerns (e.g., reproductive health, pregnancy, breastfeeding), well-being (e.g., healthy aging, mental health, nutrition, fitness), and very specific concerns (e.g., violence against women, alternative medicine). The chapters are well written and will be easily understood by women with a high school education. There are many illustrations, charts, lists, and sidebars that add both interest and additional information. Users will find practical advice and tips to deal with a wide range of common health concerns among women of all ages. Each chapter is supplemented with lists of additional resources, Websites, and organizations to contact for more information. This guide will appeal to a wide range of women. The the very affordable price of $24.95 it should be found in most public libraries of all sizes as well as consumer health collections. The information is timely, easy to comprehend, and lends itself well to further research if needed. This guide is highly recommended.--Shannon Graff Hysell, American Reference Books Annual review The Healthy Woman: A Complete Guide for All Ages.
