Stress has increasingly become associated with greater
susceptibility to various illnesses. The condition is also costly
from an economic and financial perspective, but such costs hardly
reflect the human costs of emotional trauma and physical suffering
that result from the illness. Women today are in a situation where
both the monetary and human effects of stress take their toll as
women face unprecedented pressures in accommodating the demands of
home and career and personal family stresses that often result. In
addition to this, while women are prone to the same stressors as
men, they are confronted with potentially unique physical and
psychological stressors of their own. They may also become stress
'carriers' as in the abusive husband and unfair boss relationship.
Ironically, despite these differences women live longer than men,
although collectively they are reported to have more symptoms,
illnesses, intake of drugs and doctor-hospital visits. This
outstanding new book by a pioneer in stress research presents an
essential analysis of this increasingly relevant subject.
