I'm happy to have more thoughtful literature added to the annals of menopause, and for the cultural conversation around it to increase generally. I haven't read much in this area, and this book provided a useful compiling of what's out there, including a lot that is not recommended reading.

The author's musings on the societal perceptions of post-menopausal women were interesting and varied. The direct links to animals were of less interest to me, although I did enjoy reading about her experiences with killer whales. Overall, this isn't really a book I can rate, but I'm glad I read it and I'm glad it's out there.
