This is a powerful book. The author has been a practicing gynecologist for more than twenty-five years. As a woman, she has experienced the effects of menopause and can write with such detail to make the reader feel they are not alone. She writes from a feminist perspective which shows the reader how much medicine has been directed toward men instead of women. I highly recommend this book to every woman, regardless of age.
