"I can't recommend this book enough. Kate Muir's writing demystifies, educates, and empowers all women to take control of their bodies. This book will make you angry, educated, and empowered" - Jen Brister

A revealing, candid guide to contraception, written by activist, journalist, and documentary producer Kate Muir. "Everything You Need to Know About the Pill (but Were Too Scared to Ask)" is the thinking woman's guide to contraception, bringing answers to all those questions that have been hidden behind a veil of misplaced shame, bad science, and centuries of patriarchy.

"What's happening with my body - and my mind? Which contraceptive method is best for me? Do I really need to take a break from the pill every three weeks? What about men - where's their pill?"

Muir draws on interviews with leading medical experts in the field, combined with her tumultuous journey with different types of contraception and the personal stories of women from all walks of life, sharing their diverse experiences and invaluable wisdom.

Furthermore, Muir challenges why today's medical community mishandles contraception, as she debunks myths and exposes the flawed science and hysterical headlines that have negatively impacted women's health over the last twenty years.

This groundbreaking guide is a social, cultural, and scientific exploration of a shamelessly neglected and under-discussed aspect of women's lives. It is a manifesto for change, calling for equality in healthcare and an entirely new - and long overdue - approach to women's health.

"This book finally allows us to think differently about hormones and contraception. Kate is a genius" - Dr. Louise Newson

"Essential reading for every woman who's ever taken the pill, it will educate, anger, and empower you" - Liz Earle Wellbeing Magazine
