I am the author of this book which is now in 13 languages, which proves that women worldwide suffer with the same problems and have similar questions about their menopausal and postmenopausal health. I think this book is an excellent primer and should be followed by reading my newest book, The Estrogen Answer Book: 150 Most-Asked Questions About Hormone Replacement Therapy. I have attempted, and most reviewers say succeeded, to educate women about how we age and empower them to get good health care. I have reminded women that our health is too important to abrogate its care to anyone other than ourselves. These books suggest which kinds of physicians to see for which problems and also suggest what questions a woman might wish to ask. Further they suggest how to get what you need from your physician, no matter how busy that physician is the day of your appointment.

Despite its title and the fact that the author has another book, "The Estrogen Answer Book," specifically about hormone replacement therapy (HRT), this books seems to deal mostly with HRT as opposed to menopause per se. "The Estrogen Answer Book" is more recent, which is important in light of rapidly changing medical opinions and outcomes of studies in the past few years. On the positive side, this book is easy to understand, and while she seems rather pro-HRT, Jacobowitz does not promote a "one size fits all" solution.
