The Change: Women, Aging and The Menopause

The Change: Women, Aging and Menopause by Germaine Greer is a bold and thought-provoking book about menopause, aging, womanhood, and the way society understands women’s changing lives. Written by the renowned feminist author of The Female Eunuch, this book goes far beyond medical facts to explore the cultural, historical, literary, and personal meanings of menopause.

Greer draws on history, textbooks, novels, poems, and women’s lived experiences to examine how menopause has been misunderstood, feared, dismissed, and sometimes transformed into a source of strength. With her sharp, challenging, and passionate voice, she looks at aging not simply as decline, but as a significant stage in women’s lives worthy of serious attention.

A strong choice for readers interested in feminism, women’s health, aging, menopause, gender studies, cultural history, and powerful nonfiction.
