Reviews
I wish I had been able to read a copy of The Knowledge many years ago. Dr Nighat has written an incredible book which is a fabulous, instructive, no-nonsense, straight-forward guide to female health which should be made available in schools and libraries and health-settings all over the world.
Super inclusive and informative, and so easy to digest. This is a roadmap for a woman's life.
A much-needed women's health resource for everyone to read and enjoy, irrespective of age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity or religion.
The book I wish I had growing up.
A masterpiece.
An absolutely brilliant step forwards for women's health.
This book is going to transform women's health.
