“I have spent a lifetime addressing the healthcare needs of women and girls. And let me be very clear: Most of the health problems that women have are directly and profoundly related to their sense of self and the preciousness of their bodies. If their initial experience of being a girl was positive, their health (and their immunity) will be good. If they grew up feeling something was lacking, then they are apt to develop physical, emotional, or spiritual issues down the road.” Excerpted from Healing the Little Girl in You, January 2013
