SWEETENING THE PILL: OR HOW WE GOT HOOKED ON HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL
Book ID/图书代码： 07069513B64333
English Summary/英文概要： Millions of healthy women take a powerful medication every day from their mid-teens to menopause - the Pill - but few know how this drug works or the potential side effects. Contrary to cultural myth, the birth-control pill impacts on every organ and function of the body, and yet most women do not even think of it as a drug. Depression, anxiety, paranoia, rage, panic attacks - just a few of the effects of the Pill on half of the over 80% of women who pop these tablets during their lifetimes. When the Pill was released, it was thought that women would not submit to taking a medication each day when they were not sick. Now the Pill is making women sick. However, there are a growing number of women looking for non-hormonal alternatives for preventing pregnancy. In a bid to spark the backlash against hormonal contraceptives, this book asks: Why can’t we criticize the Pill?
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 数以百万计的健康妇女从青年期到更年期，每天需要吃大量的药物——口服避孕药，但是很少有人知道这种药的工作机理或者是它们的潜在副作用。和文化神话相反，避孕药对身体的每一个器官和功能都有影响，但大多数女性甚至不认为它是一种药物。抑郁，焦虑，偏执，愤怒，惊恐——避孕药对一生中吃了很多这些药物的80%以上的女性产生至少上述一半的影响。当避孕药被释放，人们认为如果女性没有生病则不需要每天接受药物治疗。现在，避孕药却会让女性生病。不过，也有越来越多的妇女正在寻找可替代的非激素避孕药来防止怀孕。力图引发对激素类避孕药的反对，这本书质问：为什么我们不能批评避孕药？(LNL)
