ABOUT
A bold new vision for women's health, offering a step-by-step roadmap for navigating our most pressing health concerns with confidence and ease
AN OPEN FIELD PUBLICATION FROM MARIA SHRIVER
The medical field has long ignored women’s unique health needs, treating us as if our bodies were the same as men’s, just smaller and with a few different parts. Not only could this be further from the truth—but it's hijacking our access to better health outcomes.
The New Rules of Women's Health is the comprehensive, evidence-based primer every woman needs to take charge of her wellbeing. Drawing on cutting-edge women-centered research and insights from +130 of the world’s top female health experts, award-winning health journalist Meghan Rabbitt covers everything you need to know to make the best decisions for your health and longevity at every stage, from menstrual and hormonal health to fertility, menopause, chronic pain, and beyond.
Along the way, you will learn:
- Important differences in how various diseases develop in women—including why we’re more susceptible to autoimmune disease and suffer disproportionately from heart disease and Alzheimer’s—and the best tips for prevention
- What the latest science says about optimizing your health and diet before disease strikes, from how to get better quality sleep to the best workouts at every age
- The underrecognized signs of hormonal imbalance and what you can do to optimize your endocrine system
- How to tell if your period symptoms are “normal”—or when they’re a sign of an underlying condition
- Science-backed strategies to improve your fertility and prepare your body for pregnancy if you decide to start a family
- What to expect during perimenopause—including the health conditions women are at increased risk for during this time and how to manage your symptoms so you can navigate this transition feeling stronger and more confident than ever
- How to find women-focused healthcare providers you trust
The time is now to take charge of your wellbeing. Consider The New Rules of Women's Health your resource for life.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
