Product Description

Unique in its audience and its hands-on approach, The Black Woman's Guide to Menopause is a smart, step-by-step guide filled with specific advice written from the viewpoint of a black woman. Because of cultural and physical reasons, women of color have different responses and feelings about this change in their lives. As the author notes: "Maybe what happened physiologically is the same for all women, but what we brought to those hormonal and bodily changes and howwe responded to what our bodies were going through had everything to do with who we are as African-American women."

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! Answers to Menopause Questions, Oct 11 2003

Pauline L. Goza (Tacoma, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Black Woman's Guide to Menopause: Doing Menopause with Heart and Soul (Paperback)

I am very pleased with the book, The Black Woman's Guide to Menopause. Ms. Carolyn Scott Brown with contributions from Dr. Barbara Levy did an excellent job of answering questions on a topic that our mothers are reluctant to discuss and/or cannot answer.
Ms. Brown handles all the topics in a very personal way. As she takes us through her menopausal journey, she covers topics such as dealing with the "shame" of going through "the change," how to discuss menopausal issues with our doctors, changes in our sexuality, and sharing information and experiences with our friends.
While the book identifies the subtle differences that African Americans experience with menopause it also gives a great definition and overview of menopause from any woman's perspective.
Thank you, Ms. Brown, for having the courage and fortitude to offer your expertise on a much-needed topic.
