The Menopause Manifesto

The Menopause Manifesto

Although menopause affects all women, many lack adequate information about its symptoms, physical changes, health issues, and treatment options. Consequently, health problems related to menopause are dismissed as imaginary, unimportant, or something to simply endure because "that's just how women are."

The time for change has come!

Menopause is a normal life phase and an evolutionary advantage, yet it is challenging due to its unpredictability! The hormonal chaos that gradually increases after a woman turns forty may or may not manifest in various ways and may or may not lead to serious health complications. What applies to you? What should you expect once menstruation stops, and when? Is it time to panic?

Gynaecologist Jen Gunter, with expertise and humour, reassures you that menopause is not a disease but a planned change that you don't have to silently endure due to prejudice, shame, and misogynistic societal attitudes. A much better strategy is to equip yourself with information: when you understand what is happening, why it is happening, and what to do about it, you will rid yourself of fears and doubts and instead gain confidence in making decisions about your health. Besides clear explanations, the book also offers practical tips on how the author herself deals with menopause and postmenopause.

Don't panic, even if you're troubled by:

And much more – there is a solution for everything.
