520    "Sex Cells is the tale of scientific stonewalling, 
       intrepid advocacy, and the still-pitched battle to get the
       scientific and medical world to recognize that women are 
       not small men. Phyllis Greenberger has been working in the
       field of biological sex differences for more than 30 years,
       and she continues to be struck by the lack of 
       understanding about this topic, even among medical 
       professionals. After all, it's a fundamental aspect of 
       human life: males and females are different biologically. 
       What's more, those differences impact everything we must 
       know about the diagnosis and treatment of disease-or they 
       should impact everything we must know about the diagnosis 
       and treatment of disease. The idea that our biological sex
       impacts our health seems like such a simple concept. 
       Unfortunately, it has proven to be anything but. 
       Greenberger's battle cry has been: Women/females need to 
       be treated equitably in relationship to men/males. Males/
       men and females/women are equal, but they are not the 
       same. It has been challenging to get individual 
       researchers and practitioners to accept this, as well as 
       research and medical institutions, and manufacturers of 
       medications and devices. The journey towards equal 
       treatment and the understanding of sex and gender 
       differences in prevention, diagnosis and treatment is 
       still unfolding. This book is the story of that journey-
       why it was, and still is, so important to do research 
       specific to women/females . Sex Cells gives readers access
       to the wide world of sex-specific medical issues as they 
       play out in the research labs and doctor's offices, and 
       how women pay the price, with a close look at the impact 
       that has on minority populations. The story is told by the
       woman who is recognized as the driving force for change 
       over the past 25 years-Phyllis Greenberger-and her allies 
       in government, NGOs, academia, medical research, the US 
       government, and public health advocacy. The array of 
       experts who have contributed to the book offer an 
       insiders' up-close view of the battle to have female cells,
       lab animals and humans brought into medical research, so 
       that women can receive treatment that is appropriate and 
       effective for a wide range of conditions. Told with humor,
       ferocity and passion, Sex Cells appeals to anyone 
       interested in health, women's rights, and public health 
       policy"--|cProvided by publisher.
