An Older woman's health guide

the long version

Women outlive men by an average of at least eight years. THose extra years are too often wasted, arid and meaningless. Women believe the stereotypes society has assigned to women over sixty-five: You're physically unattractive to men; you're a burden to your grown children; you suffer a lot of unmentionable, embarassing ailments. Here's a book about health and life, not about sickness and death. Health is mental and social, as well as physical.
