By examining the history of menopause over the course of the twentieth century, Houck shows how the experience and representation of menopause has been profoundly influenced by biomedical developments and by changing roles for women and the changing definition of womanhood.MenopauseSocial aspectsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryMenopauseTreatmentUnited StatesHistory20th centuryMiddle-aged womenHealth and hygieneUnited StatesHistory20th centuryMenopauseSocial aspectsHistoryMenopauseTreatmentHistoryMiddle-aged womenHealth and hygieneHistory618.1/75Houck Judith A(Judith Anne)1807047MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974316703321Hot and bothered4356549UNINA
