The Menopause Industry

Résumé du livre

"As mid-life women are increasingly targeted by big companies with products and services to sell, the normal event is being redefined as a health hazard that needs treatment. The result has been an explosion of prescriptions, remedies, cures, precautions and scares. Now award-winning medical journalist Sandra Coney breaks through the maze. Distinguising 'fact' from 'fiction', and drawing on the experiences of women themselves, Sandra Coney exposes the marketing pressures placed on mid-life women and challenges medical and popular stereotypes and misconceptions."--Back cover.
