| Annotation | This book brings together views from a broad range of areas including feminism, cultural studies, clinical medicine, sociology, philosophy and political science, and includes the experiences of menopausal women themselves. Particular attention is given to medical representations of menopause, biology and ageing, the history of medical approaches to women, and the tensions between bio-medical models and other explanations of menopause. The issues of hormonal therapies are explored in the context of the connections between women, medicine, representations, and cultural politics. |
