Amy Steele of Entertainment Realm reviews In Our Control
June 30, 2010
In Our Control doesn’t read like a scientific article but a wise and thoroughly researched expose on all aspects of contraception. Eldridge writes in a practical, often conversational format which should appeal to readers at all interest levels. … In Our Control should be kept on one’s bookshelf for reference next to Our Bodies, Ourselves and FLOW. — Amy Steele of Entertainment Realm’s review of In Our Control

Ms. Magazine reviews In Our Control
May 21, 2010
Laura Eldridge’s new book In Our Control: The Complete Guide to Contraceptive Choices for Women (Seven Stories Press, 2010) isn’t kidding with that subtitle. The last time I remember reading so much detail about contraceptive options was poring over Our Bodies, Ourselves when I was in my 20s. … Eldridge learned women’s health writing at the side of the late women’s health advocate and activist Barbara Seaman, and it shows. She contextualizes her work with her own experience and preferences, but provides thorough documentation so that women can more easily make their own decisions. This is women’s health activism at its best. — Elizabeth Kissling, Ms. Magazine

Laura Eldridge and In Our Control in USA Today
May 12, 2010
[Laura] Eldridge, the author of In Our Control: The Complete Guide to Contraceptive Choices for Women, due out next month, says she went on the pill at age 18.
By her mid-20s, “I started having a lot of problems” — irregular bleeding, premenstrual syndrome. After trying five different types of the pill, Eldridge, now 30 and married, gave up and got a diaphragm, a device some peers find quaint.
“There are a lot of women who are not happy on the pill,” she says. “We can have respect for different methods and different choices.” —USA Today, on the fiftieth anniversary of the Pill
