Ourselves, growing Older

This is truely the one comprehensive and excellent book for older women's issues - health (mental and physical), lifestyle and planning for retirement years and beyond. It is clearly written and will be very valuable both in money saved and research based advice. It is a reference book for the life of an older woman.

A Splendid Book

This book should be on the hands of every growing and conscious woman. Usually, we take so much care of others, that forget about ourselves. When menopause arrives sometimes it overwhelms us because there are so many changes taking place at the same time.In my case there were more changes between my 48 to 53 years, than the rest of my adult life( between 20 to 40). And that`s too much.This book is about giving us the caring and love we deserve. We are the life givers of humanity !!!! So buy this book and you will treasure it as a gift of love to yourself.

The Book You Want Your Mom to Have

After all those well-intentioned your-body-is-changing books your mother foisted on you years ago, here's a chance to return the favor. Like the rest of the Our Bodies series, this is a book that you want to have and keep and share.

what a great accomplishment for women's health

A superb collection of essays on women's health. The information is up to date and plenty of good references are offered for anyone caring to do some deeper research on any of the topics discussed. Every woman over 40 should own this -- if she wants to know how her body works and where to go for help when it's not working right.
