from back cover: Derek Llewellyn-Jones and Suzanne Abraham have written a book which provides a positive approach to Everywoman's middle years. Taking the age of 40 to 65 as the middle years, they discuss issues of menstrual irregularity, contraception for women in their 40s and relationships in a way which the reader will find helpful and supportive. The book deals with physical and emotional aspects of the menopausal years and moves on to deal with hormone replacement treatment and its value, not only in relieving menopausal symptoms but in preventing heart attacks and osteoporosis. Believing that women (and men) need to adjust to the middle years, the authors discuss the place of nutrition and exercise in everyday life. EVERYWOMAN'S MIDDLE YEARS provides easily read information for women and men in the prime of their lives, without being patronising.
