The New Menopause: Navigating Your Path Through Hormonal Change with Purpose, Power, and Facts | Mary Claire Haver, MD

pick

Conversations about menopause are *finally* becoming more common, but we need more of a push in the medical community to study the effects and potential treatments for it, instead of writing off all the symptoms as "just something you have to go through." ⬇️

staci.reads As someone who was put into sudden, forced menopause 17 months ago after a radical hysterectomy, I am concerned about my increased risk for things such as heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis. This book does a great job of laying out all the issues menopause can cause and the various ways to treat it, including a serious, research-based discussion of HRT. I highly recommend this to all women experiencing perimenopause or postmenopause. 4d

AllDebooks I hope to start this later this week 4d

staci.reads I have my Libby loan only a few more days, so I'm reading ahead and can't remember what was in this week's chapters 🤦‍♀️. I will say, this is a damn depressing book. We've read a lot of similar information in other books, but I'm listening to this one, and maybe that's why it is hitting different. I'm new to audio books, and I think I'm finding that for the non fiction, I'm going to need print copies. Having these stories drone on and on in my ears is really 3d

staci.reads *overwhelming. 3d

BarbaraJean I hadn't heard of this book--and it sounds fabulous! I've just discovered I can check it out on Hoopla. (Adding it to the reading list now!) 5d

Daisey @BarbaraJean It‘s been on my list for a while now. I don‘t know that I‘ll do more than read an essay randomly, but I‘m so glad to have finally started it! 5d

JazzFeathers I'm always interested in reading about Tolkien's female characters. I think there's so much more to them than so many readers give them credit to. 4d

Perilous and Fair: Women in the Works and Life of J. R. R. Tolkien | Janet Brennan Croft

After finishing The Fall of Arthur this morning, I pulled this book from my shelf this evening. In the introduction, the description of this essay relating Eowyn to a female medieval knight seemed a perfect complement to my earlier reading. It‘s a truly interesting analysis of Eowyn‘s character development from court lady to acting lord of Rohan to shield maiden and finally to wife and healer.

Happy 8th of March dear women!
I spent it in the company of my two favourite women, my daughter and my mother. Today is our day, we had fun and pampered ourselves together.
How you used to celebrate?
