This text compares North American and Japanese medical and political accounts of female middle age, together with narratives given by Japanese women, to challenge Western assumptions about menopause. The book offers irrefutable evidence that the experiences (even the endocrinological changes) associated with female midlife are not universal but rather the product of an ongoing dialectic between culture and local biologies.
