Synopsis

The only thing predictable about menopause is its unpredictability. Factor in widespread misinformation, a lack of research, and the culture of shame around women's bodies, and it's no wonder women are unsure what to expect during the menopause transition and beyond.

Menopause is not a disease—it's a planned change, like puberty. And just like puberty, we should be educated on what's to come years in advance, rather than the current practice of leaving people on their own with bothersome symptoms and too much conflicting information. Knowing what is happening, why, and what to do about it is both empowering and reassuring.

Frank and funny, Dr. Jen Gunter debunks misogynistic attitudes and challenges the
over-mystification of menopause to reveal everything you really need to know about: perimenopause, hot flashes, sleep disruption, sex and libido, depression and mood changes, skin and hair issues, outdated therapies, breast health, weight and muscle mass, health maintenance screening, and much more.

Filled with practical, reassuring information, this essential guide will revolutionize how women experience menopause—including how their lives can be even better for it!

Goodreads review by Krista on March 21, 2021

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......more

Goodreads review by Emmalita on April 27, 2021

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 a......more

Goodreads review by Hannah on October 26, 2023

Women need 25 g of fiber a day and men 38 g—I'm sure there is a great joke in here about men being more full of shit. A snarky and informative book, but Dr. Jen Gunter is so busy being (understandably) angry at the patriarchy, that she forgets to celebrate women's bodies. Another amusingly absurd qu......more

I was expecting something different. I think this book is fantastic if you are a medical professional wanting to learn more about how to treat patients during the menopause years. It includes many different ailments that women experience and how to treat them. Lots of information about medications a......more
