Historical, Medical, and Cultural Perspectives
Herausgeber: Formanek, Ruth

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This compilation illuminates menopause as both an event and a stage of life by gathering together a variety of discipline-specific meanings and research perspectives. The result is an admirably comprehensive study that not only charts the premodern meanings of menopause, but examines menopause from current biomedical, endocrinological, cultural, and psychological perspectives.
