When we get a bit... unpredictable
I was doing readings for my Love, Family & Sexuality sociology module and came across a handful of interesting quotes from this article entitled 'Scientific Discourse and Aging Women'.There is no typical menopause, there are as many menopauses as women.
- Iris Murdoch, The Good Apprentice, 1985
I should observe, that though this climateric disease is sometimes equally remarkable in women as in men, yet most certainly I have not noticed it so frequently, nor so well characterized in females.
- Henry Halford, "On the Climateric Disease," 1813
Why do Western women make such a fuss about menopause"
- Asked by Jap gynaecologist at a Florida conference, 1985
