A Personal Rite of Passage

172 pages, ISBN 1-882670-33-7 / 978-1-882670-33-8, Spring Publications

This intensely personal account of the little written-about sacred dimension of menopause combines religious studies with psychology to "understand menopause as soul-event... regarding its symptoms as symbols" and provides insight into what this transition can be like for women who choose to embrace it as a meaningful part of their lives.
