Periods

Witty, sensitive, and learned, Sharon Golub contributes a welcome overview about menstruation--separating fact from myth, normalcy from pathology. Periods: From Menarche to Menopause imparts a broad survey of menstrual-cycle research, covering psychological, physiological, developmental, and medical issues. Golub's fine work will lead to a greater understanding of women and the influence of menstruation in women's lives. Required reading for women and men, Periods: From.

Menarche to Menopause belongs in the library of all researchers and scholars involved in psychology, nursing, and women's studies. Professionals who work with women in clinical settings--nurses, social workers, physicians, and psychologists--will also find this volume of special interest.
