Crowning Ph D Geeta Pfau Rn

"Crowning" is a frank, honest, and unique look at the reproductive and sexual behavior of Nepali girls and women. Narrated by Geeta Pfau, a Nepalese nurse/midwife, the stories are true reports of hidden aspects of women's lives--ranging from birthing under a banana tree, to menstruation, rape, illegal termination of pregnancy, and related complications and challenges. Culture and medicine are woven together in an easy story-telling style as the author carries the reader into the harsh realities of women's lives in Nepal. This book is an eye-opener, inspirational and real.
