"Holly Grigg-Spall is fearless, and her courageous advocacy on
behalf of women whose stories are too often silenced is a model for
others trying to make positive change through health activism. Read
the book and get inspired, get angry, and most importantly get
information. Sweetening the Pill is exactly the thing needed to
energize and mobilize this important women's health conversation."
Laura Eldridge, author of In Our Control: The Complete Guide to
Contraceptive Choices for Women 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?
