Menopause: The Anthology by Catherine Pestano Paperback Book

Description: Menopause: The Anthology by Catherine Pestano, Cherry Potts Is the menopause really all about hot flushes, empty nests and HRT? Forty-three writers challenge the cliches in poetry and short fiction. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The subject of Menopause is just beginning to break the barrier of taboo, and become a mainstream discussion point, but that discussion has until now been very serious, medical, and, we would argue, heterosexual and white. This anthology of poems and short fiction aims to address that, with wild and wonderful writing from humour and anger, relief and distress, by women who have experienced menopause, whether naturally or as a result of surgery; with a healthy dose of views from the global majority and the lesbian, bisexual and trans communities. With contributions from Adele Evershed, Alison Habens, Alyson Hallett, Amanda Addison, Anne Caldwell, Anne Eccleshall, Anne Macaulay, Cath Holland, Cheryl Powell, Chloe Balcomb, Claire Booker, Claire Lynn, Clare Starling, Ellesar Elhaggagi, Elizabeth A Richter, Em Gray, Erica Borgstrom, Genevieve Carver, Ginger Strivelli, Helen Campbell, Jane Ayres, Jane Burn, Jane McLaughlin, Jessica Manack, Joanne Harris, JP Seabright, Julie-Ann Rowell, Karen F Pierce, Kavita A Jindal, Kim Whysall-Hammond, Lucy Lasasso, Marina Sanchez, Martha Patterson, Mary Mulholland, Rachel Playforth, Ruth Higgins, Sian Northey, Susan Bennett, Susan Cartwright-Smith, Tessa Lang, Tina Bethea Ray, Victoria Bailey, and Victoria Ekpo.

It absolutely exemplifies what the arts can do to communicate personal experience in a highly political and socially impactful way. I LOVED IT!Joanna Brewis, Professor at The Open University and menopause at work researcherUtterly relatable and so, so clever! I love the combination of humour, sadness, anger and strength that shines through the writings of these talented womenJackie Lynch, The Happy Menopause nutritionist, author & podcasterThis is such an important book. The menopause should not be just a vanilla-sisters, posh white woman conversation. It affects all of us and global majority women often have worse symptoms which start earlier. I found these stories both inspiring and moving. Im sure you will too. Eleanor Mills, Founder of Noon.org.uk - home of the Queenager Promotional Essential and powerful reading on menopause.
