Dr. Gale's Page

Imagine a book to assist young girls transitioning from adolescent sexual development into womanhood through the art of storytelling. This book takes a unique approach that combines interesting stories with believable characters to teach important feminine health information. The writer and physician, Dr. Gale Blakley, holds a Master of Public Health (MPH) and has cared for female patients and delivered babies for decades. This experience has allowed her to develop a third ear. An ear to hear and understand what young females want to know about their bodies and sexual health. She takes the blend of storytelling and carefully weaves together essential health information to teach the facts on sexual health without judgment. This book brings a fresh approach to teaching girls about their health and caring for their bodies. Dr. Gale's Page covers topics like how babies are made, demystifying the menstrual cycle, teen pregnancy, dating violence, choosing contraception, sexually transmitted infections, and more. Each chapter opens with a realistic fiction story about one of the topics above. At the end of the story, Dr. Gale answers questions and explains the science of the subject presented in the story. Entertaining stories and simplified science gives the facts and uncovers the fiction on girls' health. Dr. Gale believes that knowledge is power, and storytelling can educate, inspire and give the reader the information to understand her body and its many parts. Most importantly, Dr. Gale's Page: Facts and Fiction On Girls' Sexual Health, will empower girls to make good decisions about their feminine health.
