I have been eagerly anticipating both menopause and The Menopause Manifesto: Own Your Health with Facts and Feminism for quite a while， and right now I’m disappointed in both。 I know Dr。 Jen Gunter knows that not every one with a uterus is a woman。 I have seen her speak inclusively about trans men and nonbinary people。 She also started the hashtag IfMenHadPeriods， which， well， some men do have periods。 Unfortunately， The Menopause Manifesto seems to be only for women， and this undermines her sta I have been eagerly anticipating both menopause and The Menopause Manifesto: Own Your Health with Facts and Feminism for quite a while， and right now I’m disappointed in both。 I know Dr。 Jen Gunter knows that not every one with a uterus is a woman。 I have seen her speak inclusively about trans men and nonbinary people。 She also started the hashtag IfMenHadPeriods， which， well， some men do have periods。 Unfortunately， The Menopause Manifesto seems to be only for women， and this undermines her stated desire to use facts and feminism to dismantle the patriarchy。 In 2021， centering a book about menopause solely on women feels like a deliberate choice。 I don’t know what her purpose is in ignoring trans men and nonbinary people， but the result is I cannot recommend or support this book。It particularly bothers me that in the introduction she declares the irrelevance of the patriarchy’s opinion on menopause while clinging to patriarchal definitions of gender。 I am a cis woman and I have always resented people telling me who I should be because my body has female reproductive organs。 It would be even more frustrating to have female reproductive organs and be defined as a woman even when you know you are not。 Feminism that allows people to be defined by their bodies is going to fail in it’s goal。It’s a fact that not everyone with a uterus who will go through menopause is a woman。 The feminism that insists on gender binary is not trying to dismantle the patriarchy。 It’s trying to rent a room in the patriarchy while slamming the door on trans， nonbinary， and genderfluid people。 It won’t work。 We have over a hundred years of a feminist movement that shows dismantling the patriarchy just a little gets women nowhere。 Women won’t have equality until everybody has equality。I am crying out for more conversation and science based knowledge about menopause。 I would like to know what the hell is going on with my body as I transition into menopause。 But， I can’t trust a woman physician who directs her information only at women any more than I can trust a man telling me about my body。 I can’t trust that she’s seeing facts and not building a reality that suits her vision。I really want to like this book。 I want to be able to recommend it to my friends， but I can’t。I received this as an advance reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Dr。 Jen Gunter does it again！ In her unabashed， honest， feminist style and packed with the most recent science， The Menopause Manifesto is a must read for women， their partners， and allies。 It is a book that empowers women to openly discuss their transitions into menopause in order to remove the stigma of aging and defeat the patriarchal control of our health one less period at a time。 I found it to be incredibly informative and appreciate the normalization of human changes as we age。 Advanced c Dr。 Jen Gunter does it again！ In her unabashed， honest， feminist style and packed with the most recent science， The Menopause Manifesto is a must read for women， their partners， and allies。 It is a book that empowers women to openly discuss their transitions into menopause in order to remove the stigma of aging and defeat the patriarchal control of our health one less period at a time。 I found it to be incredibly informative and appreciate the normalization of human changes as we age。 Advanced copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

We really need this book！ There is so much information that women need about menopause and the transitions that happen around menopause。 I love that it is told from a body positive perspective。 I feel like this book was partly for women and partly for medical professionals - both groups will get a lot of of reading The Menopause Manifesto。 Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy in return for my fair and honest review。

This book is interesting in that it is a combination of the history of menopause treatment， a political manifesto on the treatment of women as the locus of menopause and advice from a doctor who specializes in menopausal treatment。 It was interesting and strange。 I could have done without the entire chapter on the use and meaning of the word "menopause' but overall this was a great read on the plight of women as they age。After reading other reviews and seeing that some are upset about the omissi This book is interesting in that it is a combination of the history of menopause treatment， a political manifesto on the treatment of women as the locus of menopause and advice from a doctor who specializes in menopausal treatment。 It was interesting and strange。 I could have done without the entire chapter on the use and meaning of the word "menopause' but overall this was a great read on the plight of women as they age。After reading other reviews and seeing that some are upset about the omission of trans issues with menopause， I am seriously disappointed that these people clearly miss the point。 Biological women have been sidelined as they age as far back as there is history。 This isn't about the acceptance of trans women as female。 It's about the biologically female body being looked at as lesser than the male body; being something that society looks at as offensive because aging women don't fit into the patriarchy mindset。 。。。more

A manifesto is a public declaration or proclamation and we are well past due for a manifesto on menopause as 2021 is the 200th anniversary of the introduction of the word。 My manifesto is for every woman to have the knowledge that I had to help them with their own menopause。 I demand that the era of silence and shame about menopause yield to facts and feminism。 I proclaim that we must stop viewing menopause as a disease， because that means being a woman is a disease and I reject that shoddily A manifesto is a public declaration or proclamation and we are well past due for a manifesto on menopause as 2021 is the 200th anniversary of the introduction of the word。 My manifesto is for every woman to have the knowledge that I had to help them with their own menopause。 I demand that the era of silence and shame about menopause yield to facts and feminism。 I proclaim that we must stop viewing menopause as a disease， because that means being a woman is a disease and I reject that shoddily constructed hypothesis。 I also declare that what the patriarchy thinks of menopause is irrelevant。 Men do not get to define the value of women at any age。 Dr Jen Gunter （OB-GYN， women’s health advocate， and internationally renowned author of The Vagina Bible） states in her introduction to The Menopause Manifesto that most women will approach menopause woefully unprepared for the changes they will encounter; societal shame dissuading women from even talking about their experiences among themselves。 And as Western medicine has traditionally put most of its focus on men’s bodies and their care， women entering the menopause transition tend to not even get good information from their primary care providers: life-disrupting symptoms are dismissed as “normal” and “inevitable”; treatments offered are one size fit all; and in the US， ongoing cost and duration of medical care can be a deterrent for access。 Gunter makes it very clear throughout this book that this lack of information and adequate care can be tied to the patriarchy， and she concludes the introduction with， “It shouldn’t require an act of feminism to know how your body works， but it does。 And it seems there is no greater act of feminism than speaking up about a menopausal body in a patriarchal society。” The information that follows is clear and comprehensive， Gunter’s tone is generally informal and engaging， and although I picked this up on a bit of a whim， I’m very glad that I did: all information is power and I learned quite a lot。 （Note: I read an ARC through NetGalley and passages quoted may not be in their final forms。） There’s a common fallacy that women were never “meant” to experience menopause。 This assertion claims that menopause is an accidental state that resulted from longer life expectancies from modern sanitation and medicine， allowing women to live beyond their ovarian function。 A benevolent patriarchal society allowed the failings of women — menopause — to be uncovered。 The tenacity of this myth is testament to the impact of patriarchal dogma。 Erasing menopausal women from history is literally reducing women to the functioning of their uterus and ovaries。 When something feels off balance I replace the word “women” with “men” to see how it sounds。 If it sounds reasonable I’m more likely to consider the hypothesis worthy of further evaluation， but if we would never speak about men that way， then there’s going to be a lot of side eye on my part。 Has anyone ever in the history of medicine ever uttered these words？ “Through good sanitation and health care， men are now living long enough to develop erectile dysfunction？” Doubtful。 I knew so little about menopause that I didn’t even realise that only humans and toothed whales experience it （and for killer whales， it seems to confer some kind of an advantage: female orcas usually live to be around ninety， and males just to fifty）， so that does beg the question: why menopause？ Dr Gunter proposes the “grandmother hypothesis” — that human women （evolutionarily speaking） stop reproducing in order to help their daughters raise their own children， sharing their hard won knowledge and wisdom （this seems to be true for the whales， too） to the benefit of the species — and I suppose this shifting role is better than being consigned outright to the rubbish heap。 Whatever the reason for the menopause transition， women’s bodies will go through a range of unpleasant experiences （from hot flashes and irregular periods to insomnia and incontinence） and Gunter stresses that a doctor should describe such experiences as “typical” instead of “normal” （where “normal” implies that these are just things women need to deal with instead of addressing）。 In some cases， women suffering from life-altering symptoms may be prescribed MHT （menopausal hormone replacement） and Gunter goes into interesting detail about the history of hormonal treatments — including an explanation for why it’s no longer pejoratively called “HRT” （hormone replacement treatment; nothing is being replaced because nothing is failing） — and I appreciated that she explained why the small increase of risk for breast cancer can be offset by estrogen’s role in preventing the more likely onset of cardiovascular disease or osteoporosis。 I also appreciated the information she shared about so-called natural alternatives （hardly natural and never effective）， the uselessness of a daily multivitamin， and the danger of pharmacist-compounded， rather than pharmaceutically manufactured， hormone creams （why do these even exist？ Even the so-called libido-enhancing “scream creams” sound like snake oil。） The best way to approach menopause is to be informed so women can understand if what is happening is menopause-related; what diseases she may face due to her combination of genetics， health， and menopausal status; and what is the best way to achieve quality of life and health and how to best balance those goals against any risks。 This can only happen with accurate information and without the prejudice of the patriarchy。 There is a lot of good， specific information in The Menopause Manifesto， far beyond what I took away as general interest， and I can totally see how it could be a useful resource for a woman to consult before seeking medical advice。 I’m glad this exists and that I read it。 。。。more

I received an e-ARC through Netgalley。This is a very well-researched book about the history， possible causes， treatments and thoughts on menopause。 The author shares her own personal experiences along the way which add a nice aspect to the clinical parts of the book。 The author is an OB/GYN so has a professional interest in the subject matter as well。

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 I read the first couple of chapters of this in the Buzz Books spring/summer preview and realized – Wow， I don’t actually know that much about menopause， even though it’s eventually going to happen to me！ In fact， as this book explains， most women who haven’t lived through it yet （and even many who have） don’t know all the facts about this phase of life。 And considering any person who menstruates and lives into middle I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 I read the first couple of chapters of this in the Buzz Books spring/summer preview and realized – Wow， I don’t actually know that much about menopause， even though it’s eventually going to happen to me！ In fact， as this book explains， most women who haven’t lived through it yet （and even many who have） don’t know all the facts about this phase of life。 And considering any person who menstruates and lives into middle age is going to go through this process eventually， that’s a real problem！ We educate kids about what changes are going to happen to their bodies， and the effects these changes will have on their lives。 Adults should be similarly prepared for what’s ahead。 The Menopause Manifesto not only delivers the facts about menopause， but it also takes a look at the phenomenon and the way society deals with it - and women who have gone through it - through a feminist lens。 These insights are sprinkled throughout a detailed description of the reasons why we go through menopause， the effects it has on the body and mind， and the ramifications these changes can have both during the process of menopause and for the rest of the person’s life。 She also explains the science behind， history of， and reliability of various therapies， and busts several myths and misconceptions related to menopause。 The author covers a lot of very technical medical stuff， and while it can be a little bit too technical in some places for my level of comprehension （and admittedly shaky attention span）， the information imparted is still very valuable。 Overall， she does a great job of explaining the most important and useful information in a way that is easy for the reader to understand。 Even if you can’t wrap your brain around all the technical stuff， the main takeaways are still very accessible。 One thing I should mention - I was surprised that the book did not make any mention at all of the medical needs of trans men and non-binary people with ovaries， especially considering that trans issues were apparently specifically addressed in her previous book， The Vagina Bible （which I have not read。） There is mention of the medical risks of different surgeries to remove the uterus or ovaries， so I would think that trans issues would be addressed at some point。 A medical article I looked up on the topic of gender-affirming surgery for trans men （as this book made me curious and then didn’t answer my questions） mentioned the decision to remove the ovaries as a “personal choice。” Which I’d think would mean that trans men are just as in need of facts and medical guidance in this area as cis women。 Of course， the information in the book is still valuable to any individual who has the organs in question， so they could still read it and get a lot out of it。 I’m just a little surprised that the author （who included trans individuals in her previous book） overlooked this potential segment of her audience entirely。 Overall， a very informative book on an important topic that for various reasons has gone ignored for too long。 。。。more

The Menopause Manifesto is a no holds barred， straight up truth about this important and overlooked stage in every woman’s life。 As a woman and as a medical professional， I found Gunter to have sound medical knowledge and great considerations and ways to care and advocate for yourself。 What I enjoyed most， I’d the delivery of the information was almost like having coffee with a close friend。 The relaxed conversational tone is perfect。 I received an ARC of this book， all opinions are my own。

I really enjoyed Gunter's The Vagina Bible， so I jumped at the opportunity to read this follow-up， even though I'm still a good twenty years away from having to deal with these issues。The word "menopause" first appears in an 1812 paper by French Dr。 De Gardanne， but how or why it became widespread is not exactly known （and Gunter makes a great case for why it is less than ideal）。 Before "menopause" a variety of other terms were in use， from the good "change of life"， to the not-so-great "mid I really enjoyed Gunter's The Vagina Bible， so I jumped at the opportunity to read this follow-up， even though I'm still a good twenty years away from having to deal with these issues。The word "menopause" first appears in an 1812 paper by French Dr。 De Gardanne， but how or why it became widespread is not exactly known （and Gunter makes a great case for why it is less than ideal）。 Before "menopause" a variety of other terms were in use， from the good "change of life"， to the not-so-great "middle-age decline"， to the positively awful "women's inferno"， "women's winter"， and "death of sex"。Much like her "vagenda" in The Vagina Bible， her menopause manifesto aims to dispel myths rooted in misogyny and empower women through knowledge and facts with a readable blend of expert advice， humor， personal anecdotes， and historic perspective。 As expected， this proves harder in this volume: The only predictable thing about menopause is that it's unpredictable， and there is an even greater amount of taboo and misinformation circulating about this topic than any other phase of women's health， all compounded by often inconclusive scientific data due to a lack of research。 With engaging， accessible writing， Gunter goes into the biology of menopause， as well as the pros and cons of available （somewhat US-centric， because of the brand names given） treatments and therapies。 Some chapters were denser with information than others， but there is， again， a concise "bottom line" section at the end of each chapter， summarizing the most important take-away points。 A lot of the contents were complete news to me， and I think that even just the explanations of symptoms would be reassuring to many who are going through it and feeling alone。 There are practical tips and strategies for lifestyle changes that have scientifically proven， positive effects， and don't require a medical professional， such as dietary changes and physical exercise。 Because of this， and the sensible way it is structured， it would be a good reference book to have on hand， and I'd recommend it to anyone who is approaching the menopausal transition， is currently going through it， or is living with someone who is， and wants to understand this change of life， and be supportive。Menopause is a planned change in a woman's life， just like puberty， not a disease， and if it was openly discussed and demystified， many women wouldn't suffer bothersome symptoms in silence， either assuming it was something they had to accept as normal， or worse， being dismissed by medical professionals for the same reason after trying to get treatment。—————Note: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review。The digital advance copy struck me less as a review copy， and more as a rough draft; it included many placeholders， typos， and other errors， as well as oddly formatted text， and the many tables and diagrams weren't displayed properly—all issues which should hopefully get resolved before the official release， so I didn't let them influence my review or rating。 。。。more
