It's a physiological and psychosocial event, a cultural construct, and a deeply personal experience all woven together in a jumbled knot. It's menopause.

This guide makes the entire landscape of menopause-not just the physiology-more visible. If what you need is a level-headed friend to help walk you through the litany of fears to face, questions to ask, and practical decisions to make throughout the menopause transition, this is the book for you"--
