«The Silent Passage» is Gail Sheehy's health and wellness essay, published by Random House Inc in hardcover (161 pages, in English).
Gail Sheehy investigates menopause as a vital transition surrounded by silence and misinformation. Through interviews with women from diverse backgrounds and her own experience, she denounces the scant medical knowledge and social attitudes, and reclaims this stage as a gateway to a second adulthood.
The original edition dates from 1992 and Gail Sheehy is presented on the cover as the author of Passages, her previous work on life cycles.
For women approaching menopause and for those seeking a social and psychological reading of this stage.
Gail Sheehy was an American author, journalist, and lecturer. She was the author of seventeen books and numerous high-profile articles for magazines such as New York and Vanity Fair. Sheehy played a part in the movement Tom Wolfe called the New Journalism, sometimes known as creative nonfiction, in which journalists and essayists experimented with adopting a variety of literary techniques such as scene setting, dialogue, status details to denote social class, and getting inside the story and sometimes reporting the thoughts of a central character.
