Female Fertility and the Body-Fat Connection (Women in Culture & Society)

Female Fertility and the Body-Fat Connection (Women in Culture & Society)

by REFrisch (Author)

Synopsis

In this culmination of decades of research, Rose E. Frisch's Female Fertility and the Body Fat Connection explains how, in women, each milestone of the reproductive life span - including puberty, fertility, and menopause - is influenced by food intake and energy output, the factors affecting the storage of fat. The practical and remarkable results of these investigations are told alongside the story of Frisch's own journey as a woman scientist working to advance her argument to both the general public and the scientific community.
