While biomedical and feminist researchers agree that menopause is a time of transition and border crossing, they offer diverse viewpoints about whether perimenopause and menopause signal deficiency and burden, or growth and freedom, or both. So too, contributors to this collection--influenced by factors of age, cultural background, societal context, and physical and psychological experience--vary significantly in their perspectives of this process. Research, analysis, narrative, poetry, and art intermingle to create a multi-textured montage that challenges stereotypes, probes relationships, and defies categorization. \u003ci\u003eMusings on Perimenopause and Menopause: Identity, Experience, Transition\u003c\/i\u003e provides insight into how women think about and experience the transition to menopause in contemporary times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heather Dillaway\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1772582859\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772582857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Demeter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.79d","brand":"Heather Dillaway","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994537525503,"sku":"9781772582857","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c0ea162-b7ea-42bf-a2a3-5107d29b1730.jpg?v=1683330743","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/musings-on-perimenopause-and-menopause-heather-dillaway-9781772582857","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
