Menopause: the True Story
by Christa D'Souza'The final step to equality has to be turning the menopause into a topic we can happily discuss, and even celebrate. In these pages, Christa D'Souza puts us firmly on that path.' - MARIELLA FROSTRUP'Been there... survived that... but how I wish I'd had this menopause tour guide to get me through. Brilliant and beautifully written.' - CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR'Warm, witty and wise. No woman - or man, come to that - should be without this book.' - CRESSIDA CONNOLLYThere has never been a better time to be a menopausal woman. Technology is such that 60 really is the new 40 (or even 35). But, for Christa D'Souza, some nagging questions remain... What is the point of us now that we are officially biologically irrelevant? Are hormones safe, even if you've had cancer? Is there a cut-off point for plaits? In this fabulously confessional romp through the menopause, D'Souza tells us what it was like for her, and what it will be like for you. She meets a bunch of menopausal nuns in San Francisco, goes hunter-gathering with the Hadza tribe in Tanzania, interviews experts around the world to get the latest science... and discovers along the way some surprising silver linings to this key milestone of maturity. Menopause: the memoir is a treat of a book - liberating, empowering and unexpectedly moving in its truth-telling.

Mensaje desde la Eternidad
by Marlo MorganUn mensaje dirigido a todas las almas, sin diferenciar entre mujeres y hombres, para restaurar nuestra dimensión espiritual perdida a través del modo en que los aborígenes han vivido en comunión con la tierra, sus criaturas y sus congéneres. Beatrice y Geoff nacieron según la tradición aborigen, en contacto con la tierra que les da de comer; pero fueron sustraídos de su entorno y, separados, vivieron perdidos en el mundo blanco. Tras realizar el camino del desierto, Beatrice encontró en la tribu de los Auténticos la sabiduría de sus antepasados, el mensaje de la Eternidad... «Este mensaje va dirigido a todas las almas, estén donde estén, y su contenido es válido para todas ellas. Lo ha sido siempre, desde los albores de la humanidad, en los tiempos de las cavernas, hasta el día de hoy. No existe diferencia alguna entre lo femenino y lo masculino. Nuestra misión no consiste en el éxito material y mundano, sino que tiene unadimensión espiritual. [...] Estos principios han sido seguidos por mi pueblo en la nación del Outback desde el principio de la historia. Nunca hemos sido labradores, mercaderes o pastores, sino cosechadores, músicos, artistas y poetas. Vivimos en comunión con la tierra, con todas las criaturas y con cada uno de nuestros congéneres.»Marlo Morgan

Menstrual Myth Busting: The Case of the Hormonal Female
by Sally KingIn this book, Sally King interrogates the diagnostic label of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) to expose and challenge sexist assumptions within medical research and practice. She powerfully demonstrates how the concept of the ‘hormonal’ premenstrual woman is merely the latest iteration of the ‘hysterical’ female myth. By blaming the healthy reproductive body (first our wombs, now our hormones) for the female-prevalence of emotional distress and physical pain, gender myths appear to have trumped all empirical evidence to the contrary. The book also provides a primer on menstrual physiology beyond hormones, and a short history of how hormonal metaphors came to dominate medical and popular discourses. The author calls for clinicians, researchers, educators and activists to help improve women’s health without unintentionally reproducing damaging stereotypes.
Menstrual Problems for the MRCOG and Beyond
by Margaret Rees Mary Ann LumsdenMenstrual problems are among the most common reasons for primary care and specialist referral. Therefore, it is important for all gynaecologists and primary care practitioners to have a basic understanding of menstrual reproductive physiology to enable them to counsel women safely and accurately. This second edition has been comprehensively updated to reflect current clinical practice and new research. The contents cover the diagnosis, management and treatment - both medical and surgical - of a wide range of menstrual disorders, including excessive menstrual loss; fibroids; dysmenorrhoea; endometriosis; chronic pelvic pain; delayed menarche; premature ovarian failure; polycystic ovary syndrome; and premenstrual syndrome. This is a perfect introduction for any gynaecologist who needs an accessible and concise introduction to modern management of menstrual problems. It also acts as an ideal revision guide for candidates preparing for the Part 2 MRCOG examination, fully covering the RCOG curriculum for menstrual problems.
Menstrual and Pre-Menstrual Tension
by Jan de VriesResearch carried out over the past decade indicates that women are suffering more than ever from problems connected with menstrual and pre-menstrual tension. Many dread the monthly cycle which can impose a complete change of character, with even the most well-balanced of women being subjected to erratic mood swings and depression. Advocating the holistic approach, with emphasis on a low-stress diet and natural remedies with vitamin, mineral and trace element therapy, Jan de Vries shows how to overcome the ups and downs of the menstrual cycle.
Menstruation Matters: Challenging the Law's Silence on Periods
by Bridget J. Crawford Emily Gold WaldmanExplores the burgeoning menstrual advocacy movement and analyzes how law should evolve to take menstruation into account.Approximately half the population menstruates for a large portion of their lives, but the law is mostly silent about the topic. Until recently, most people would have said that periods are private matters not to be discussed in public. But the last few years have seen a new willingness among advocates and allies of all ages to speak openly about periods. Slowly around the globe, people are recognizing the basic fundamental human right to address menstruation in a safe and affordable way, free of stigma, shame, or barriers to access.Menstruation Matters explores the role of law in this movement. It asks what the law currently says about menstruation (spoiler alert: not much) and provides a roadmap for legal reform that can move society closer to a world where no one is held back or disadvantaged by menstruation. Bridget J. Crawford and Emily Gold Waldman examine these issues in a wide range of contexts, from schools to workplaces to prisons to tax policies and more. Ultimately, they seek to transform both law and society so that menstruation is no longer an obstacle to full participation in all aspects of public and private life.
Menstruation and Procreation in Early Modern France: Blood And Taboo (Women And Gender In The Early Modern World Ser.)
by Cathy McCliveEarly modern bodies, particularly menstruating and pregnant bodies, were not stable signifiers. Menstruation and Procreation in Early Modern France presents the first full-length discussion of menstruation and its uncertain connections with embodied sex, gender and reproduction in early modern France. Attitudes to menstruation are explored in three inter-linked arenas: medicine, moral theology and law across the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Drawing on a wide range of diverse sources, including court records and private documents, the author uses case studies to explore the relationship between the exceptional corporeality of individuals and attempts to construct menstrual norms, reflecting on how early modern individuals, lay or otherwise, grappled with the enigma of menstruation. She analyzes how early modern men and women accounted for the function, recurrence and appearance of menstruation, from its role in maintaining health to the link between other physiological and bodily processes, including those found in both male and female bodies. She questions the assumption that menstruation was exclusively associated with women by the second half of the eighteenth century, arguing that whilst sex-related, menstruation was not sex-specific even at the turn of the nineteenth. Menstruation remains a contentious topic today. This book is not, therefore, simply a study of periods in early modern France, but is also of necessity an exploration about the nature and constitution of historical evidence, particularly bodily evidence and how historians use this evidence. It raises important questions about the concept of certainty and about the value of observation, testimony, expertise, the nature of language and the construction of bodily truths - about the body as witness and the body as evidence.
Menstruation: A Cultural History
by Gillian Howie Andrew ShailRanging from Aristotle to twentieth-century gynecology, contributions to this volume trace the semiotics of menstruation from magical act to evolutionary deficiency. The result is the first comprehensive historical study of how menstruation has been understood within various cultural traditions, with reference to political and social institutions, and medical and religious practices. Includes a guide for scholars on bibliographical and archival sources for the study of menstruation.
Mental Action and the Conscious Mind (Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy)
by Michael BrentMental action deserves a place among foundational topics in action theory and philosophy of mind. Recent accounts of human agency tend to overlook the role of conscious mental action in our daily lives, while contemporary accounts of the conscious mind often ignore the role of mental action and agency in shaping consciousness. This collection aims to establish the centrality of mental action for discussions of agency and mind. The thirteen original essays provide a wide-ranging vision of the various and nuanced philosophical issues at stake. Among the questions explored by the contributors are: Which aspects of our conscious mental lives are agential? Can mental action be reduced to and explained in terms of non-agential mental states, processes, or events? Must mental action be included among the ontological categories required for understanding and explaining the conscious mind more generally? Does mental action have implications for related topics, such as attention, self-knowledge, self-control, or the mind-body problem? By investigating the nature, scope, and explanation of mental action, the essays presented here aim to demonstrate the significance of conscious mental action for discussions of agency and mind. Mental Action and the Conscious Mind will be of interest to scholars and graduate students working in philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, and philosophy of agency, as well as to philosophically inclined cognitive scientists.

Mental Capacity, Dignity and the Power of International Human Rights (Cambridge Bioethics and Law)
by Julia DuffyPersonhood, in liberal philosophical and legal traditions, has long been grounded in the idea of autonomy and the right to legal capacity. However, in this book, Julia Duffy questions these assumptions and shows how such beliefs exclude and undermine the rights of adults with cognitive disability. Instead, she reinterprets the right to legal capacity through the principle of the interdependence and indivisibility of human rights. In doing so, she compellingly argues that dignity and not autonomy ought to be the basis of personhood. Using illustrative case studies, Duffy demonstrates that the key human rights values of autonomy, dignity and equality can only be achieved by fulfilling a range of interdependent human rights. With this innovative book challenging common assumptions about human rights and personhood, Duffy leads the way in ensuring civil, economic, political, social, and cultural inclusion for adults with cognitive disabilities.
Mental Causation: A Counterfactual Theory
by Thomas KroedelOur minds have physical effects. This happens, for instance, when we move our bodies when we act. How is this possible? Thomas Kroedel defends an account of mental causation in terms of difference-making: if our minds had been different, the physical world would have been different; therefore, the mind causes events in the physical world. His account not only explains how the mind has physical effects at all, but solves the exclusion problem - the problem of how those effects can have both mental and physical causes. It is also unprecedented in scope, because it is available to dualists about the mind as well as physicalists, drawing on traditional views of causation as well as on the latest developments in the field of causal modelling. It will be of interest to a range of readers in philosophy of mind and philosophy of science. This book is also available as Open Access.
Mental Causation: The Mind-Body Problem
by Anthony DardisTwo thousand years ago, Lucretius said that everything is atoms in the void; it's physics all the way down. Contemporary physicalism agrees. But if that's so how can we—how can our thoughts, emotions, our values—make anything happen in the physical world?This conceptual knot, the mental causation problem, is the core of the mind-body problem, closely connected to the problems of free will, consciousness, and intentionality. Anthony Dardis shows how to unravel the knot. He traces its early appearance in the history of philosophical inquiry, specifically in the work of Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, and T. H. Huxley. He then develops a metaphysical framework for a theory of causation, laws of nature, and the causal relevance of properties. Using this framework, Dardis explains how macro, or higher level, properties can be causally relevant in the same way that microphysical properties are causally relevant: by their relationship with the laws of nature. Smelling an orange, choosing the orange rather than the cheesecake, reaching for the one on the left instead of the one on the right-mental properties such as these take their place alongside the physical "motor of the world" in making things happen.
