About This Summary!

Stacy T. Sim’s book is about how women are supposed to deal with menopause.

Life expectancy for women is about 81 years, and the average age at which women hit menopause is 51. In other words, nearly 40 percent of your life is likely to happen after menopause. Factor in those five to seven perimenopausal years when your hormones start to go haywire and you could easily be living half, if not more, of your life on some part of your menopause journey.

When you look at it that way, it’s all the more upsetting how negative all the messaging around menopause is and has been for centuries. In the time of Hippocrates, menopause was described as “climacteric syndrome,” which was understood to be the stage of a woman’s life when she had a weakened uterus, was losing power, and was no longer of much use to society.

Menopause finally surfaced as a recognized medical condition in the 1880s, but the terminology didn’t improve. It was described as the “death of the womb.” The “experts” of the time also believed that when a woman stopped menstruating, she was no longer able to release “toxins,” and it was those toxins that would build up and induce symptoms of high heat in the body, profuse sweating, craziness, and “hysteria.” The response of the medical community was to call women insane and lock them up.

Things didn’t get much better even in what we would consider modern times. In the early twentieth century, Sigmund Freud and his followers argued that menopause was a neurosis—again implicating menopausal women as insane. The lack of hormones and the aging process were causing women to go crazy. Even into the latter half of the twentieth century, physicians argued that at ages 45 to 50 women were prone to developing hysterical fits.
