"[A]uthor Lauren Martin asks us to think much more, and much more
deeply, about moods... In Martin's view, 'moody women' aren't bound
to stigmas. They aren't irascible, irrational or hormonal in a
vacuum. (Although she argues that hormonally charged reactions are
real and should be honored, rather than tamped down and shamed). .
. Martin's message is relatable."--The Washington Post

through all of the moods...Martin's prose also embraces and
celebrates womanhood, just when we need it most."--Shondaland

self-doubt, Martin calls upon clinical studies and stories from
inspiring women (i.e. Audrey Hepburn, Princess Diana) to offer
readers tangible tools for navigating their own whirlwind of
emotions. Think of her book as a series of tried-and-true tactics
for practicing self-care and emotional stability."--Shape
