Review
"Overall, excellent, authoritative book should be of great importance, not only to dermatologists, but also to gynecologists. It is both instructive and enjoyable to read. I have no doubt that [the book] will soon become a leading tool in enabling gynecologists to become more perceptive about the skin condition of their patients." - Organon's Magazine for Women and Health "If you want straightforward descriptions of dermatological conditions a standard text will suffice. But, if you want a bit more insight into the special problems of women, to be entertained and to learn a little more of the history of beauty you will not be disappointed." - S.M. Cooper, Department of Dermatology, Oxford Radcliffe Hospital, Headington, Oxford, UK, Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, October 2001
