ডাঃ অরুণ কুমার মিত্রের কন্যা জয়া ও জননী

This is a book on a topic that, in Bengali, can be said to be written for the first time. The author of this book is a specialist doctor, whose professional experience has greatly enriched the content. Since the independence of the country, there have been significant changes in the economic and social structure. The expansion of women's education and progress in women's liberation are no longer luxuries, but necessary components of society. Women are no longer confined to being daughters, wives, and mothers within the home; they are increasingly participating in earning a livelihood in many fields. In this changing context, there is a growing need for women to be more conscious about their health. However, even among highly educated women, although their knowledge in various fields has expanded, their knowledge in this area remains quite shallow. Dr. Mitra, in her profession, has frequently encountered women who lack practical knowledge in this regard. At the same time, she has also observed that with the progress of science, educated women have shown an increasing curiosity about the evolution of women's lives and the scientific information related to them. This book primarily focuses on that aspect.

Dr. Mitra presents a well-organized and systematic account of the various stages and transitions in a woman's life—from birth and physical differences, childhood, adolescence, youth, marriage, motherhood, childbirth, child care and nurturing, reaching middle age, menopause, and the end of the reproductive stage. The book provides all the essential information about these phases of a woman’s life, carefully structured into chapters for easy understanding.
