pick

Darcey Steinke presents her perspective on various aspects of menopause. It‘s one woman‘s experience, and thus, a memoir. And yet, it‘s so much more. There‘s science, social / cultural commentary, and some thoughts on medical methods. But if you‘re looking for a “how-to make menopause easy book,” this isn‘t directly it. Still, I came away feeling empowered. 4.5 stars

A lot of this book is making me feel alternately🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️but this quote really struck me as particularly transcendent. May we all be overtaken by beauty.

“How do you explain you've been enchanted by a creature, an apex predator?.... what if the post-menopausal narrative, like the prepubescent one, is focused not on romance, but on a creature?.... I am not interested in girl meets boy, but in woman meets whale. 'Questing,' Pollitt writes, 'is what makes a woman the hero of her own life.'“ (page 36)

This one wasn‘t for me, I couldn‘t finish it. There were parts that were funny, parts that made me think but it was a little too out there. I‘m not going to light a black candle and think about the people I hate and I don‘t care to spend time considering vaginal lasering. There were definitely interesting bits but I need to get it returned to the library and don‘t think I‘ll give it another go.

Cinfhen I‘m in a time warp @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I can‘t manage my days 🤪🤪 5y

JamieArc I think this author did an interview with Terry Gross on Fresh Air that was really interesting and made me want to read the book. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @JamieArc I‘ll have to hunt for the interview. Thanks! 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @emz711 I‘ve won a few, but mostly before they changed their giveaway policy. (I forget the details, but it used to be more generous.) 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen Time warp getting better?? 5y

I‘m enjoying this exploration of menopause. The audiobook is read by the author and is compelling. She is completely right that there is a deficit of work based on this time in women‘s lives. It‘s insane to know that every woman goes through it and we know so little about the process.
