## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    substantial and well-referenced
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2010*

The author is a renowned neonatologist, and this book is scholarly, filled with references.The author talks about the paternalistic methods of physicians in previous centuries, and how their attitudes increased the risk for female addiction to opioids. He traces the history of drug policy in the U.S., paying special attention to how the policies affected female addicts in particular. This is heavier reading than many other books about women and addiction, but full of detail and moderately interesting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
