First published in 1972 and updated in 1991, this pioneer, ground-breaking classic by the founders of the oldest Lesbian organization in the U.S., the Daughters of Bilitis, tells of their work for both women's rights and their Lesbian lives and experiences in a positive, knowledgeable way.

In Dr. Greenwood's update, we learn the latest on the importance of soy foods in a woman's diet, as well as an evaluation of recent medical findings. As always, Sadja's words bring comfort, understanding, and empowerment to women everywhere!

This book for the aging woman takes a unique approach. The author recounts compelling myths and folktales from a variety of cultures, and then explains their hidden symbolism. For example, the Japanese story of an old woman who chased a rice cake, or the British tale of the old woman in a vinegar bottle, are traditional stories that contain messages passed down from one generation to the other and hold valuable lessons on how to deal with growing older, facing mortality, accepting limitations and getting in touch with the "masculine within" and the "dark feminine"--two parts of every woman that the author believes may be buried deep in the unconscious. She advocates self-knowledge as the path to aging creatively and happily. --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
