Medical Wisdom
by Daisy Maryles -- Publishers Weekly, 3/19/2001
Through her groundbreaking 1994 bestseller, Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom(39 printings, 1.3 million in print), and her four top-rated public television specials, Dr. Christiane Northrup has become an especially trusted medical adviser to America's women. Her newest book, The Wisdom of Menopause: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing During the Change, was published by Bantam March 6 and jumps onto today's nonfiction list at #2 (and is also hitting that spot on next Sunday's New York Times Advice, How-to and Miscellaneous list), with nearly 250,000 copies in print after five printings. In addition to a full hour on Oprah on March 7, Dr. Northrup is making stops at PBS stations across the country, promoting both books during pledge breaks of her program on menopause. She's scheduled for a Today appearance on March 28, and PBS stations will continue to air her specials nationally.
