There was incredible and overwhelming validation about this void in women's healthcare when she-ology was listed #4 of 6 of the "Most Life Changing Wellness Books of 2017" by Women's Health Magazine and Prevention.com.

The Vagina is part of the cycle of women's lives, so why not embrace and talk about it? Dr. Sherry believes it is time for the "Vagina Revolution"—dismantling misconceptions about sex and the Vagina and embracing it in all its shapes, sizes, sexual orientations, and ages. Her new book she-ology: The Definitive Guide to Women's Intimate Health. Period.shines a light on the Vagina, answering women's most uncomfortable questions with the goal of healthier and happier Vaginas for all women—from pre-teens to senior adults.
Having grown up with Our Bodies, Ourselves, Dr. Sherry felt that while the book is extremely helpful, it doesn't dive into the most sensitive issues of women's health. With expertise and humor, she-ology addresses every urgent, confounding, culturally taboo, and challenging question women have about Vaginas. In a friendly and informative voice, Dr. Sherry breaks down topics like periods, postpartum, and Menopause in the form of chapters like "Adventurous V," "Divorced V," "Hormonal V," and many more. In the beginning of each chapter, celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Brooke Shields, Christina Applegate, and Jane Seymour share their Vagina experiences to help further the dialogue that it's okay to ask questions and have a relationship with your most intimate self.
In she-ology, Dr. Sherry answers many common questions that women are too bashful to ask, including:
-
What age should I start going to the gynecologist, and what will happen on my first visit? When will I start getting pap smears and mammograms?
-
What does "safe sex" even mean?
-
Is there such thing as a "perfect" Vagina?
