<p style="font-weight:400;">A Tribute to Betty Dodson with Dr. Carol Queen</p> <p style="font-weight:400;"> </p> <p style="font-weight:400;">Thanks to <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Dodson'>Betty Dodson</a>, millions of women have known orgasmic bliss … What a legacy! And there is so much more to Dr. Dodson’s legacy.
