Women Making Choices


On Sept, 28, a few intrepid men joined several hundred women bedecked in red feather boas at 701 Restaurant for a reception prior to the screening at Burke Theater of Hot Flash Havoc, a provocative and revealing film about menopause.

Their stories were validated through in-depth interviews with leading experts, several of whom formed a panel after the screening to answer questions.
