This volume reflects on the social, cultural, philosophical and ethical issues raised by the menopause and the way it has been handled by medicine. Contributions are made by writers from a broad range of disciplines as well as by menopausal women themselves.
Reinterpreting Menopause brings together a number of reflections from a broad range of areas including feminism, cultural studies, clinical medicine, sociology, philosophy and political science and includes the voices and experiences of menopausal women themselves. In an innovative series of essays, current thinking about medicine, society and the body is critically examined. Particular attention is given to the medical representations of menopause, biology and aging, the history of medical approaches to women and the tensions between bio-medical models and other explanations of menopause.
