New Inclusive Menopause Book! Please support this project if you can!
Here is a very exciting new menopause project - an anthology of writing about menopause edited by the one and only Mona Eltahawy, AKA Feminist Giant!
Bloody Hell! and Other Stories - Adventures in Menopause from across the Personal and Political Spectrum is being published by Unbound, and you can find the crowdfunder here.
In Mona’s words:
As a feminist of colour who often must write what she she has long wanted to read, I know what it’s like to rarely see yourself during those “moments,” “waves,” and “movements.” Too often when feminism takes that brave dive into the deep end of a taboo, it takes along just a select few: white, wealthy, cisgender, heterosexual, able-bodied women.
Bloody Hell! And Other Stories is the antidote.
I am here for this! And so, I think, are a lot of you.
It is not just cis women who experience menopause. Non-binary people, trans men and other gender non-conforming groups also experience menopause and do so under even greater levels of silence and taboo.
This anthology aimes to expand the Menopause Moment/ Wave/ "Movement" beyond white and cis women.
And there is a great line-up of writers (see below) who will be bringing a whole range of understanding and experience of menopause that we don’t normally see.
Disclosure: I am excited to say that I am also writing a chapter for this book.
