Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Kenley, a psychologist and women's advocate, provides a valuable contribution to the ever-growing body of literature on women's health. Using a determined and upbeat approach, she encourages women to take charge of their physical, emotional, and spiritual health. She also gives them the tools, providing a wealth of up-to-date information about key issues that women face at each stage of life. Topics include detecting and coping with breast cancer, treating osteoporosis, maintaining optimal cardiovascular health, hormone replacement therapy, self-image and weight, sexuality, nutrition, sleep disorders, and menopause. This book is sensible, straightforward, and readable, with helpful tips, well-organized charts, and simple graphics. This resource will enable women to be intelligent healthcare consumers, armed with the sort of information previous generations lacked and that physicians today may not give them. Highly recommended for public library and consumer health collections.?Linda M.G. Katz, MCP Hahnemann Univ., Philadelphia

Part pep talk, part health update for women approaching middle age and menopause. Psychologist Kenley had her own ``rough mid-forties transition,'' complete with serious health crises, poor and insensitive medical care, and a feeling of being alone in her difficulties. So with gynecologist Arpels (a founding member of the North American Menopause Society) she tries here to cover the relevant ground so others will know what to expect. Kenley encourages readers to become ``health-active.'' ``Senior life optimal wellness is uncharted,'' she cautions, and we need to arm ourselves with knowledge. ``KNOW itstop the mystery. CHOOSE itfind your path. USE ittake action right away.'' With the tone set, Kenley and Arpels make an overall survey of menopausal symptoms, such as memory lapses and sleep disturbances. They go into greater depth on hormonal therapy, hot flashes, incontinence, and sexual issues; and give an overview of strategies for avoiding heart disease and osteoporosis. ``Identity, Habits and Weight'' discusses grooming (especially skin problems), vitamins, stress, and weight concerns. A significant portion of this guide is given over to schedules and charts: when to have what screening test, the hows and whys of various alternative therapies, nutritional guides, and the like. The information here is fine as far as it goes; updates in this field are welcome. But the cheerleading approach will turn off some readers; others will wish for information more clearly organized for easier reference. (Author tour) -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.
