Summary:

The reality of female stress has been denied, ignored, and minimized for too long. Here is the single most important book that tells it all: why women experience stress differently from men and how they can learn to deal with the everyday pressures in their lives. The second edition of this bestselling classic (over 100,000 sold) has now been revised to deal with the decade's new concerns, choices, and changes. Seven new chapters have been added, others expanded, covering female stresses, old and new; the female body; working women; mothering; love, sex, and marriage; the family in its various forms; children and teen stress; and aging.

Included are checklists, quizzes, and the "female stress questionnaire" to help identify sources of stress. Most important, Dr. Witkin provides practical short- and long-term solutions and coping strategies gleaned from more than 15 years of clinical academic experience.
