The Menopause Manifesto: Own Your Health with Facts and Feminism by Jen Gunter

5.0

Along with menopause, she gets into supplements(!) - how they're unregulated, adulterated and unnecessary (unless by prescription for an actual deficiency). And good info on how to do your own research - red flags and such of sorting through medical advice. (Red flag examples - Pregnenolone steal, adrenal fatigue, recommend salivary hormone level test, antivax, do they sell supplements)

Great read. I was raised - or absorbed through the culture - to believe the misogynistic tropes of blaming everything on hormones and women becoming frail, useless, dirty, silly, fat, gross, and weak. Gunter encourages us to think in terms of value, agency, and voice and I'm here for it.
