This is a very interesting article about how there is more and more research money and then also therefore marketing efforts going into pharmaceutical development relating solely to women's issues.

I think that this actually lends itself to a question that was addressed in one of our earlier readings- until recently, all medical research was done exclusively on men!
Now, in my opinion, how someone does medical research about a woman's development and health on a man is beyond me...
Going off of Jonathan's questions... Why did it take so long for our nation's researchers to realize that in order to study women, you have to do it ON women?!
I agree with you it is absolutely necessary to know such as this topic and its significance for women's health.
Must gather the countries and international organizations focusing on issues of development of these areas and for States to pay, in order to improve the level of the health services to the community and in particular for women ..
