In clear, engaging prose, Dr. Sarah E. Hill — an associate professor and researcher in evolutionary psychology and women’s health at Texas Christian University — synthesizes decades of research that had previously focused on men. Drawing on the latest studies, she explains how the Pill:

• Changes your brain chemistry and cognition
• Alters your stress response and emotional regulation
• Can increase risk of depressive symptoms for some users
• May influence partner preference and social behaviour

This is more than a summary of facts. Dr. Hill contextualizes findings from large-scale studies, lab experiments, and epidemiological research so readers can understand practical implications. Her background — author of This is Your Brain on Birth Control and The Period Brain — and regular coverage in major publications add credibility and trust, making this book a reliable resource for anyone evaluating contraceptive options.
