The Estrogen Elixir
In the first complete history of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), Elizabeth Siegel Watkins illuminates the complex and changing relationship between the medical treatment of menopause and cultural conceptions of aging.

Jahrhunderts beschäftigten - und dabei stets auch Gegenstand von nicht-akademischen Diskursen bis hin zu utopischen Machbarkeitsvisionen waren.
