This text seeks to redefine what it means to be female. At the turn of the century, a new item of furniture made its way into fashionable European dressing rooms: the mirror. The mirror served to reflect the differences between male and female. Drawing on cutting-edge research, this book reveals the complex interconnections among all aspects of a woman's life from infancy to old age. Rather than classifying women under any one category, the book lays out exactly what it means to live in a woman's body, think with her brain, react with her senses. It answers those questions like whose heart beats faster? A woman's. Whose blood is hotter? A woman's. Who has the worst headaches? Who crys most? And explains why. Free of ideology, the book offers a liberating message to forever change the way every woman views herself.
