      abstract = {Soul searching interviews with women around fifty, amusing  animated sequences and enchanting re-enactments of early  memories are intertwined to create this one-of-a-kind  exploration of the transforming emotional experience of  menopause.The women we hear from represent a variety of  backgrounds and cultures. Rashidah Ismaili, an African  American poet, remembers her older aunts conveying the  naturalness of this passage. Lynne Dusenberry, an  anthropologist, tells of her teacher willing herself into a  trouble-free menopause after having her last baby at 45.  Media producer Freude Bartlett gently mocks the fashion of  discussing menopause. Most of the women regret their  mother' silence on the subject. All these different voices  bring up anxieties about aging, loss of fertility,  fragility and even madness. Counterbalancing that is new  energy, assertiveness, focus, and the potential to  transform ones life.},
