Journal of Women's Health (pronunciation: /ˈdʒɜːrnəl ɒv ˈwɪmɪnz hɛlθ/) is a peer-reviewed medical journal that focuses on aspects of women's health. The term "journal" comes from the Old French "jurnal," meaning daily, and "women's health" is a combination of the Old English "wimman" (woman) and the Old English "hælth" (health).
