Menopausing is more than a book; it is a lifeline.


For too long, women have had to keep quiet about the menopause – its onset, its symptoms, its treatments – and what it means for us. But then Menopausing changed the game – and this new edition, thoughtfully designed to keep you up-to-date with the most current and critical talk around menopausing, is here to do it again.



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.


And with science and society rapidly evolving, it is time for a much-needed update. Revised and updated to reflect the today's changes in the conversations 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.
