Contraception is one of the most important contributions to public health in the 20th century. The Vulva Owner's Manual on Birth Control follows the women in the Miller family through their efforts to find the contraceptive method that is right for each of them at their different stages of womanhood. It is a highly readable, easily understandable, and concise review of the birth control methods available to today's women and girls, sparsely illustrated with clever icons. The book includes a worksheet that helps the reader clarify their priorities to help them find the method that is most likely to fit their lifestyle and most effective in preventing pregnancy. In addition to discussing each method of birth control, the book includes a section on emergency contraception in case of method failure. The author is a women's health nurse practitioner with a doctorate in public health who has helped many women and girls choose their best contraception option.
