	Sue: As a national lecturer on women's health issues, what do you find to be the most important topic to women? Ruth: Women want to be and to stay healthy. They are also busy and want to find out just how to do that and get on with their active lives. They are confused and want to be able to answer that all important question, "Should I take estrogen?" BUT they are most worried about breast cancer, even though heart disease is nine times more likely to kill us. A major problem for women, and the reason that they come out in ever-increasing numbers to hear speakers on the topics of postmenopausal health, is that many are not getting from their physicians all of the information that they need. I hope after reading The Estrogen Answer Book women will feel fully informed about their health options. I hope they will begin to take charge of their health and their health care, realizing that their health is too important to abrogate its care to anyone other than themselves. With managed care operating in so many parts of the country, the physician has less time to be a full partner with his or her patients, therefore, women must be fully educated about how our bodies age and become empowered so that they can get from their doctors what they need.

Jacobowitz The author, Ruth Jacobowitz speaks: I wrote this book to help women and men understand and work within the changes the occur biologically and psychologically at midlife. The 150 Most-Asked Questions are the top questions asked by the more than 5000 people surveyed for the book by questionnaire and the many many persons interviewed. The answers to those questions come from experts in the seven fields that work with our sexual selves: endocrinology, urology, human sexuality, geriatrics, psychiatry, gynecology, and psychology. My goal with this book is to educate couples about how we age and empower them to get the help they need in order to achieve a first-rate second half of adult life.
