Mary I love this Piece and totally agree with you. I have been researching menopause for the last 3 years having completed a psychology degree (2018) and sociology masters (2020). Menopause needs a reframe, it has received bad press for decades. I set up the www.midlifewomenrockproject.com to share all of the positives that transitioning through menopause brings. I became a detective forensically scrutinizing the literature. The silence fear and shame has disempowered women for decades. It is only in opening and normalizing conversations that life will change for the sisterhood. I am 54 years post menopause and rocking my post menopause. Change is coming
