By Janet Champ & Charlotte Moore: The creators of a revolutionary "Nike" print campaign for women wrote this book to confront menopause & aging with confidence & understanding for women in their 40's and 50's. This makes a GREAT and inspirational gift for any female in that age range! The book tackles a new, positive understanding of aging by presenting quizzes, quotes, mock-screenplay excerpts, recipes, illustrations, and much more--all designed to encourage women to embrace change with grace, confidence & knowledge.
A fearless verbal and visual tour of menopause that's equal parts "Vagina Monologues and "Bridget Jones's Diary, this book candidly explores a subject that is still largely taboo, confronting head-on the fact that women "of a certain age" feel discarded and undervalued, merely because they have entered the next normal stages of life --
peri-menopause, menopause, and all that lies beyond. The authors don't whine, blame, or gloss over the facts, instead talking with other women, like themselves, with warmth and wit. Unlike many books in this category, "Ripe is not a compendium of clinical information. Instead it has fun quotes, quizzes, a menu of symptoms and therapies, mock-screenplay excerpts, recipes, illustrations, photographs, etc. which are are woven throughout, to reveal the myriad ways of looking at and understanding society's -- and more importantly, women's -- feelings about aging and maturing. Ripe makes it clear that this phase of life is rich in often underappreciated beauty that is much more than skin deep.
