This is a superb guide including substantial information about estrogen and various estrogen products.  What made you decide to write about this topic?

Ruth:
After writing four other books about menopause and estrogen, I thought I was done with the subject, but as I moved around the country giving lectures and seminars, I became increasingly aware of and concerned about the confusion and chaos that continues to surround women's health issues, particularly those affecting women at mid-life. I talk with so many women who still have not found a satisfactory answer to the question, "Should I take estrogen?"

The Estrogen Answer Book is different--it is not another menopause book. It is actually a book about estrogen and about the options and choices that women have today when they consider taking estrogen. When I wrote my earlier books about menopause and osteoporosis, many of the answers that I have provided about estrogen in the book were still unknown and many new options were still undiscovered or undeveloped. Estrogen pharmaceuticals approved by the Food and Drug Administration as recently as six months ago are covered in the book. Ongoing studies that women need to know about and to learn the results of are described.
