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. Describing the development, spread, and shifting role of HRT in America from the early twentieth century to the present, Watkins explores how the interplay between science and society shaped the dissemination and reception of HRT and how the medicalization—and subsequent efforts toward the demedicalization—of menopause and aging affected the role of estrogen as a medical therapy. Telling the story from multiple perspectives—physicians, pharmaceutical manufacturers, gov...

Summary of Carol Tavris & Avrum Bluming’s Estrogen Matters
Buy now to get the main key ideas from Carol Tavris & Avrum Bluming’s Estrogen Matters Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has long been shown to alleviate menopausal symptoms, increase women’s life expectancy, and lower the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis, and colon cancer. However, the Women’s Health Initiative’s flawed research stating that HRT raises the risk of breast cancer has caused many women and much of the medical community to abandon the treatment. In Estrogen Matters (2021), social psychologist Carol Tavris and medical oncologist Avrum Bluming debunk this widespread myth. They advocate for a reevaluation of the risks and benefits of HRT, empowering women to make choices supported by evidence rather than misinformation.
