Reader Response to Rosemary Romberg’s Circumcision: The Painful Dilemma:
Thank you, Rosemary!
“I have carefully read your book Circumcision: The Painful Dilemma. The book is a beautiful and personalized review of a subject about which so many people are ignorant. I trust that the effort which you have made will assist many and lead to a fuller and better understanding by all who read it.
All of your chapters unfold a new and different aspect and your inclusion of a chapter on female circumcision is most appropriate. In particular, it puts circumcision of the male into a better perspective.
Similarly your use of letters and interviews personalizes the subject in a critically important way. Your use of photographs greatly enhances your messages. The photos from “The Saturday Evening Post” are dramatic, but Suzanne Arms’ photos of the mother with her infant being circumcised are most poignant. Finally, the blissfully intact youngsters, especially those made available to you by persons who have given you letters as well, demonstrate a pride and confidence which is truly beautiful. Thank you Rosemary – you have done a good job well!”

Dear Rosemary,
“Congratulations for the superb job on Circumcision: The Painful Dilemma. I spent yesterday afternoon reading it from cover to cover and the long wait (for the book’s publication) was justified. The presentation of the material is excellent and makes the reading of your original draft material so much more meaningful. Thanks for the excellent service your many years of work will bring to the understanding of routine infant circumcision.
