Description
Millions of healthy women take a powerful medication on a daily basis from their mid-teens to menopause – the Pill – but few understand how this drug works or the potential side effects. Contrary to cultural myth, the birth-regulate pill impacts on each and every organ and function of the body, and yet most women do not even think of it as a drug.
Depression, anxiety, paranoia, rage, panic attacks – just among the effects of the Pill on half of the over 80% of women who pop these tablets all the way through their lifetimes.
When the Pill used to be released, it used to be thought that women would not submit to taking a medication on a daily basis when they were not sick. Now the Pill is making women sick.
However, there are progressively more women searching for non-hormonal alternatives for preventing pregnancy. In a bid to spark the backlash against hormonal contraceptives, this book asks: Why can’t we criticize the Pill?
