"This book accomplishes its goal in providing lay persons with objective information on contraception. The historical, political, and sociological content provides an interesting backdrop for this discussion." -- Barbara Hoffman, MD(University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center), Doody's Reviews
"Twenty-two years working on birth control access, and I remain gobsmacked at how often research writing makes sex boring. Not this time. Beth L. Sundstrom and Cara Delay are researchers with street cred. In their welcome and welcoming book, this dynamic duo seamlessly navigates the ocean of birth control research gently across the shoals of real-life experiences. The result? Readers get answers to questions we are supposed to know but often don't. We are informed about the cutting edge of contraception and offered insights into birth control history. Importantly, we are also reminded that birth control has been and remains a true game-changer for women, men, children, and society. Birth Control: What Everyone Needs to Know® garners a rare Triple A rating: Authoritative. Approachable. Amazing." --Bill Albert, Chief Innovation Officer, Power to Decide
"Birth Control: What Everyone Needs to Know® answers the significant questions about contraception in a new and important way by weaving together science, history, and the voices of women themselves while incorporating the critical lens of reproductive justice. This is a must read for people who want to use contraception, physicians who want to take better care of their patients, and policy makers who are committed to improving the well-being of all." --Angela Dempsey, MD, MPH, Medical University of South Carolina
