Book Description:

'Zest for Life' includes the voices of lesbians who tell us that despite lesbian invisibility and homophobia, many are resisting current standards that exclude them. Their experiences challenge negative, stereotypical views of menopause and add a positive dimension to the presently narrow and medicalised view of women at midlife. An important uplifting book for both lesbians and heterosexual women as well as health professionals which shows that menopause need not be a time of despair.
