Menopausing

"A game-changing book uncovering the myths and taboos around menopause" — The Guardian

"[Davina is] a perfect advertisement for midlife, an inspiration to us all." — Hello

"A revolutionary book" — Woman's Own

For too long, women have had to keep quiet about the menopause – its onset, its symptoms, its treatments – and what it means for us.

Menopause affects every woman, and yet so many of us approach it with fear, misinformation, or silence. Until Menopausing launched in 2022, very few people were talking about it openly—it was a subject shrouded in shame and confusion. But that is changing.

It is time to share, to learn, and to take control of our bodies and our lives. There’s no such thing as too much information.

Revised and updated to reflect the changes in the conversation around menopause and the treatments available, Menopausing New Edition explores and explains the science, debunks damaging myths that have held us back, and smashes all of the taboos related to perimenopause and menopause.

• No more scaremongering: just evidence-based info
• No shame: real women, real menopause stories, real empathy, real community
• Honest, no-holds-barred advice: Dry vagina? Zero sex drive? Hair loss? We’ve got it covered
• The start of a movement: to get everyone talking about the menopause in every home, GP surgery, and workspace

Menopausing New Edition also features moving personal stories, so you can see and understand that every menopause is different, and yet we are all connected, a community.

This is your body. You owe it to yourself to arm it with all the information it needs to navigate this part of your life. Far from being over, this is your second spring. Menopausing New Edition will help you live it.
