Get­ting one’s peri­od is a rite of pas­sage that is often cel­e­brat­ed — per­haps with a light face slap and ​“Mazel Tov!” Yet the end of men­stru­a­tion— menopause — is rarely cel­e­brat­ed. In fact, it remains stig­ma­tized and mis­un­der­stood. For mil­len­ni­al women who have been taught lit­tle or noth­ing about menopause, the next peri­od of life is daunt­ing, though impend­ing (the aver­age age in the US is 51, and women may expe­ri­ence symp­toms for years pri­or). Psy­chother­a­pist and women’s advo­cate, Lau­ren Teten­baum, was inspired to learn more about menopause after attend­ing a Jew­ish women’s net­work­ing event. As a mil­len­ni­al mom pas­sion­ate about women’s repro­duc­tive health, she was struck by how lit­tle she knew about menopause. So she set out to learn more, and to share what she learned, from four dozen women’s health experts, every­day women, and the lat­est research on treat­ment options and poli­cies. Cov­er­ing how midlife hor­mon­al changes can affect women’s phys­i­cal health, emo­tion­al well­ness, careers, sex lives, friend­ships, and more, Mil­len­ni­al Menopause gives this gen­er­a­tion the fresh, relat­able, and empow­er­ing guide it deserves.
