As far as who should read her book, Dr. Eckert said it’s not only for medical professionals, but for anybody concerned with women’s health. “It’s really geared for the general public, and so I think that I’m continuing to work to get it out into general public audiences… I see this as a way for, especially now… as a general public, we really need to figure out ways to arm ourselves with accurate information and so I really see this as a book that anyone can pick up and read and get some understanding about a problem, you know, HPV-associated cancers and also about the vaccine, but also then the stories are just so, they’ve inspired me. Knowing these women has changed me.”

…these women that were willing to tell me, a perfect stranger, their story… they are so compelled because they don’t want other people to suffer the suffering they’ve had, and they just really want to get their message out there and they want people to know about this so that there can really be fewer people that have to go through cervical cancer, diagnosis and treatment, and life after treatment.”


Communities and countries and ultimately the world are only as strong as the health of their women.”
