Margaret M. Lock

Encounters with Aging

Mythologies of Menopause in Japan and North America

Buch

A powerful intervention into one of the most important debates of our time. Meticulous in her methods and wise in her insight, Lock tames a sea of stormy argument to show how complex and consequential is the interplay of culture and biology. Her book will make great strides toward her ultimate goal: to dislodge the myth of the Menopausal Woman.-Jean Comaroff, University of Chicago
