Description: Estrogen Elixir : A History of Hormone Replacement Therapy in America, Paperback by Watkins, Elizabeth Siegel, ISBN 0801894867, ISBN-13 9780801894862, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In 2002, the Women's Health Initiative revealed the risks of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). In this paperback edition of the 2007 book, Watkins (history of health sciences, U. of California, San Francisco) argues that estrogen use might not have taken such a hit by feminists and the medical establishment if it had been promoted solely for treating menopausal symptoms rather than as a panacea. She traces HRT's longtime popularity as a trend abetted by women's fears of the physical/cultural impact of aging, the media, and the changing relationship between doctors and patients, rather than a pharmaceutical industry conspiracy (despite its extensive sales campaigns to doctors and the public).
