The New Middle Ages: Women In Midlife

Dr. Jean Marmoreo writes from the trenches of mid-life, behind the closed doors of the examining room where women tell the real story. It''s a place where penetrating observations are made and theories are tested against reality each and every day. In The New Middle Ages Dr. Marmoreo addresses women''s mid-life concerns from a unique perspective-that of a physician who knows their histories, hears their stories, and understands their fears and dreams like no one else.

The New Middle Ages is grounded in the stories of mid-life women, but filled with sound, practical medical advice from a good authority. A new middle-age woman is emerging.

What''s inside:

• Physiological issues brought on by menopause
• Recharging a mid-life woman''s sexual drive
• What women want to know about taking care of their heart and bones
• Stress and coping as mid-life women fulfill many roles-from taking care of children to taking care of elderly parents, careers, second marriages, and more
