The Menopause Manifesto: Own Your Health with Facts and Feminism by Dr. Jen Gunter is a comprehensive guide to understanding menopause. This paperback book, consisting of 400 pages, serves as a follow-up to the #1 bestseller The Vagina Bible. Dr. Jen Gunter, a Canadian OB/GYN and an internet advocate for women's health, provides empowerment through knowledge by countering myths and misunderstandings about menopause with hard facts, real science, fascinating historical perspective, and expert advice. Menopause is not a disease; it's a planned change, like puberty. We should be educated on what to expect years in advance rather than 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. In this book, Dr. Jen debunks misogynistic attitudes and challenges the over-mystification of menopause. She covers 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about perimenopause, hot flashes, sleep disruption, sex and libido, depression and mood changes, skin and hair issues, outdated therapies, breast health, weight and muscle mass, health maintenance screening, and much more!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 tips, useful information, and startling insights, this essential guide will revolutionize how women experience menopause - and show them how their lives can be even better for it.
