Download or read book Elderwoman written by Marian Van Eyk McCain and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These days, most women can expect to live several decades beyond menopause. Until now, there have been virtually no guidebooks for this later life journey, for it is one that our ancestors, with their much lower life expectancy, were rarely privileged to take. Elderwoman is just such a guidebook. It promises that whoever sets out on her "third age" journey in a spirit of curiosity and awareness, consciously aligning herself with the natural processes of aging, and with the rhythms of the natural world around her, will discover unexpected richness, new kinds of power, freedom, and ever deepening joy, as she grows at last into her full potential as a woman and becomes a true elder, a spiritual leader for her times. The voices and guiding hands of wise elders have been missing in our modern, Western, youth-oriented culture. But with millions of 'baby-boomers' now in their elder years, this is starting to change. If our threatened planet is to come back into balance, these voices and hands will be more and more in evidence, around the world. Blending ancient wisdom with down to earth common sense, science with spirituality, and humor with poetry, Marian Van Eyk McCain, in a gentle, conversational style, leads us beyond conventional thinking and into a new world of transformational possibility: the world of the 21st century elderwoman.
Download or read book Oak Hill written by Michael Hayes and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Menopause is a very complex and confusing subject. It's about time truly authoritative experts wrote a readable, comprehensive, up-to-date, and understandable 2006 guidebook not for other doctors, but for the menopausal woman herself. Finally! .....entertaining, creatively and insightfully written, devoid of sleep-inducing academic boring monotony, and from a menopausal woman's point of view. Indeed, this is the first book written for women which clearly separates fact from fiction now four years post-WHI study. It includes very important new 2006 findings on menopause. This book is written because of INTENSE AND OVERWHELMING DEMAND women have for accurate information. Since the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) Study was published in July 2002, the world of health care decision making has been turned upside down. The clanking of trash cans was deafening worldwide when millions of women tossed their hormonal medications. Immediately, physicians' phones rang off the hook. A panic-striken confused public of sleep-deprived, anxious menopausal women began to descend on doctors' consultation rooms waving hand fans searching for answers. The perfect Category Five Menopausal Storm had been set into motion. Three conspiring fronts had converged simultaneously: 1) an Internet information savvy baby boomer generation just starting menopause, 2) the premature release of a well done but flawed landmark study on menopause, and 3) a journalistic media hell bent on lightening-like dissemination of the scariest information possible for maximum shock effect.

Significantly, the chapters also draw attention to long overlooked and compelling strengths and capacities that provide a firm basis for growth and health."--BOOK JACKET.

This book was released on 2020-06-12 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, women are facing social, economic, and cultural barriers impeding their autonomy and agency. Accelerated women empowerment programs often fail to attain their targets as envisaged by the policymakers due to a variety of reasons, with the most prominent being the deep-rooted cultural norms ingrained within society. In the era of globalization, empowerment of women demands new approaches and strategies that encourage the mainstreaming of gender equality as a societal norm. The Handbook of Research on New Dimensions of Gender Mainstreaming and Women Empowerment is a critical scholarly publication that examines global gender issues and new strategies for the promotion of women empowerment and gender mainstreaming in various spheres of women’s lives, including education and ICT, economic participation, health and sexuality, mental health, aging, law and judiciary, leadership, and decision making. It provides a comprehensive coverage of all major gender issues with novel ideas on gender mainstreaming being contributed by men and women authors from multidisciplinary backgrounds. Gender perspective and intersectional approach in the discourses make this handbook a unique contribution to the scholarship of social sciences and humanities. The book provides new theoretical inputs and practical directions to academicians, sociologists, social workers, psychologists, managers, lawyers, policy makers, and government officials in their efforts at gender mainstreaming. With a wide range of conceptual richness, this handbook is an excellent reference guide to students and researchers in programs pertaining to gender/women's studies, cultural studies, economics, sociology, social work, medicine, law, and management.
