A few things I'm taking away from this book:
- Patriarchy. Patriarchy. Patriarchy. "Clean" and "fresh" vaginas are the norm. You are not dirty if you have discharge or the occasional odor. You're a human and a magical system is working inside of you.
- Your vagina and vulva don't need a lot of help. They've been dealing with childbirth and all manner of secretions since time immemorial. Anyone who says otherwise is likely trying to make money off of you.
- "Big Natural" is just as harmful to vulvas and vaginas (if not more so) as "Big Pharma."
- Don't trust what you read on the internet. Learn to do research and develop a relationship with a gynecologist that you trust.
- Misdiagnoses are common. Remember to keep track of your symptoms and get a second opinion if you're not sure.

Very informative, I would recommend if you have a vagina or are partnered with someone who does and want to learn more about your body, or your partner's body. The tone is lighthearted, so it's a pleasant and quick read.
This is not a general encyclopedia because it shifts so often to US medical system and data that advice could not be applied to your own country, but it definitely gives a good starting point.
