Publisher's Synopsis
The fundamental characteristic of menopause that is predictable is its flightiness. Understandably, women are unsure of what to expect throughout the menopause transition and beyond given the widespread deception, lack of research, and culture of shame around women's bodies.Menopause is not an infection; rather, it is an intentional transition, much like pubescence. In addition, much like pubescence, we should be educated about what is to come in advance rather than continuing the practice of leaving people alone with annoying side effects and conflicting information. Understanding what's happening, why it's happening, and what to do about it is enabling and comforting.
