Summary: 4 Stars
Listening to ABC, I heard Dr Elizabeth Stewart discussing her and Paula Spencer's "The V book- a doctor's guide to vulvovaginal health." Realizing this was a book for my daughters, I ordered two copies.
Having a fascination with the subject matter, I naturally read the work before posting. I learnt things I didn't know that I didn't even know, I didn't know.
