		Indeed, disability may combine with gender, age, and race to place some persons with disabilities at even greater disadvantage than those with only disability as a labor market liability.
		Gender and Disability Status Labor force participation rates for women with and without disabilities increased substantially during most of the 1980s, leveling off toward the end of the decade.
		But, while rates for the latter group were relatively stable in the 1990s, men with disabilities due to endocrine, nutrition, metabolism, and immunity disorders experienced a significant decline in labor force participation from 1991 to 1994.

		For many years, it was accepted that the menopause resulted simply from exhaustion of ovarian follicles: changes in other components of the reproductive axis that accompany the menopause were considered consequences of declining ovarian function.
		More recently, increasing attention has been paid to the possibility that age-related changes in the hypothalamus and central nervous system are important players in the ensemble of events that lead to the menopause: the final exhaustion of ovarian follicles may be accelerated as a consequence of desynchronization of neural signals.
		Together our findings demonstrate that the central nervous system is involved in regulating the timing of the menopause and, conversely, that menopause has broad repercussions on central nervous system function.

		Dangarembga says that she wrote of "things I had observed and had had direct experience with," but "larger than any one person’s own tragedies…[with] a wider implication and origin and therefore were things that needed to be told" (190).
		One important theme in Nervous Conditions is that of remembering and forgetting—especially the danger of Tambu’s forgetting who she is, where she came from—as her brother Nhamo did.
		Nervous Conditions was Dangarembga’s first novel, written in 1985 and published in 1988.

	gender
		In some scholarly fields, “sex” is used to label biologically determined aspects of maleness and femaleness (reproduction, etc.) while “gender” refers to their socially determined aspects (behavior, attitudes, etc.); but in ordinary speech this distinction is not always maintained.
		It is disingenuous to pretend that people who use “gender” in the new senses are making an error, just as it is disingenuous to maintain that “Ms.” means “manuscript” (that’s “MS”).
		Nevertheless, I must admit I was startled to discover that the tag on my new trousers describes not only their size and color, but their “gender.”
