Editorial Reviews
Library Journal
"Very insightful with a holistic approach, this is a must companion for every women in menopause."
Review
“In this refreshing book, McCain presents cultural, historical, and psychosocial aspects of menstruation and menopause, seeing it as a rite of passage. Her views reflect research and clinical and personal experience. She sees menopause as an opportunity for growth and richness, with its own significance in women's lives. Beautifully written, this is the only book that talks about menopause without reference to hormone therapy. Very insightful with a holistic approach, this is a must companion for every woman in menopause.”–
“Transformation Through Menopause offers women a holistic framework for understanding this physiological process as a rite of pasasage and using it to create positive change in their lives. McCain, a social worker, encourages women to explore their feelings about menopause using music, art, movement, writing, and meditation. Unlike Women of the 14th Moon: Writing on Menopause, edited by Dena Taylor and Amber Sumrall which is an anthology of poetry and prose, this book provides guided exercises to help with the exploration of personal feelings and the creation of rituals for this transition.”–
“Thank you Bergin and Garvey for again publishing an heirloom quality book honoring the pathways of women. Add this book to your womancare library.”–
“This book will provide rewarding reading for menopausal women who find that accounts of physical changes are inadequate when measured against what menopause signifies for them personally.”–
