Facts of Life: Women and Their Bodies

This pamphlet provides information on a course series on women's health, concentrating on self-knowledge and prevention, presented and coordinated by the Vancouver Women's Health Collective's Melanie Conn. The document provides some analysis of the health care model, which fosters patient-dependence and lack of self-knowledge, and offers a list of topics to be approached in the series, including: facts about reproduction, menstruation and menopause, synthetic hormones, birth control and abortion, vaginal infections, sexuality, women and cancer, and self-help approaches to health.
