Feminine Forever

Book • 1968

Robert A. Wilson

Published in 1966, 'Feminine Forever' by Robert A. Wilson argues that menopause is an estrogen-deficiency disease that should be treated with estrogen replacement therapy to prevent the decline in femininity and quality of life.

The book was influential but also sparked significant debate, particularly within the feminist movement, regarding the medicalization of menopause and women's health issues.

The book's recommendations were later challenged by studies linking estrogen replacement therapy to health risks such as endometrial cancer.
