Consciously Female

It often feels chaotic rather than dynamic being a woman. Every day is different. Am I a size 10 today, or a size 14? Do I feel energised or do I feel like crawling under the duvet and watching Eastenders? Even our interest in sex bobs about, seemingly from minute to minute. And we mentally cross off the days when our hormones are in flux - chalking our bad moods up to PMS and waiting impatiently for our bodies to return to 'normal'. But if we are not 'ourselves' for so much of our lives, then who are we? In Consciously Female, Tracey Gaudet gives women the tools and the techniques to consciously reframe what it means to live inside a woman's body. So instead of crossing off the days we feel bad, we will learn to understand them as part of an important cycle which adds emotion and physical feeling to our lives - we will become 'consciously female'. Integrating conventional and alternative medicine, the book provides us with a complete wellness programme, including advice on nutrition, exercise, rituals and mind-body techniques. It's wonderfully positive, practical and inspirational - it's for every woman.

Reviews

An explosive new book... Many of the findings in Nurtureshock are not what we parents expect or want to hear, but we have to hear it

—— Daily Mail

A wake-up call for parents... the Freakonomics of child-rearing... a fantastic read

—— Good Morning America

The least touchy-feely [parenting book] ever... hard to put down and easy to take seriously.

—— A.V. Club,The Onion

This powerful memoir, from the author of the global hit Reading Lolita in Tehran, is a bewitching story of Azar's relationship with her brilliant, beautiful, romanticising and fictionalising mother. Set against the background of change before the Islamic Revolution, it is a complex, provocative story of family life, lies and loves - and of a desire to work out the past.

—— Good Housekeeping

Nafisi proves a compelling, and moving, witness.

—— New Statesman

If you enjoyed the wonderful Reading Lolita in Tehran by this author, you have another treat in store.

—— Waterstones Books Quarterly
