This was a tough read for me, and even more difficult to review. I thought this would be more about the author's experiences going through menopause, and it was to a degree. But I also thought it would go more in-depth about what to expect, and what are the safest options when considering or not considering HRT. Alas, these were my own misconceptions.
I was angry and uncomfortable throughout much of this book. The author was brutally honest, and her language was not apologetic; she wanted the reader to feel uncomfortable.
I am just as bewildered by what to expect when menopause comes my way because this book did not answer any of the questions I thought it would. Instead, I read about patriarchy and how I'll still have to contend with it long after I am passed reproductive age. 2.5
