The menopause industry : a guide to medicine's 'discovery' of the mid-life woman / Sandra Coney.

Facts and fallacies about hormone replacement therapy, osteoporosis, menopause, mammography, cervical screening.

"This ground-breaking book challenges both medical and popular stereotypes of women in mid-life. Sandra Coney argues that well mid-life women are being deliberately targeted by vested interests with products and services to sell. In the process, the normal event of menopause is being redefined as a health hazard which needs to be treated. The Menopause Industry exposes the pressures which the new preventive medicine with all its marketing pressure is now placing on mid-life women."-- Back cover.
