  All women face menopause, but the passage is seldom easy. Distracting symptoms, confusing medical advice, unsympathetic reactions from loved ones, and the scornful attitudes of society at large often make menopause a lonely and emotionally draining experience. This book sets out to erase the stigma of menopause. The author writes about her own experiences and uncovers the frustrations of other women who have long suffered in silence. She brings together current information and assesses women's options and risks. The author also talks to several women about how they coped and what they think of the treatments they have tried.
