Taking readers from the rainforests of Paraguay to the streets of Tokyo, Mattern draws on historical, scientific, and cultural research to reveal how perceptions of menopause developed from prehistory to today. She goes on to introduce new ways of understanding life beyond fertility.

What a slog. So much promised in the blurb, but this is a very well researched and detailed anthropological study, followed by an equally through look at historical medical texts. If you are looking for a remotely practical exploration of menopause this is not it. #ARC

Jolynne The title is very catchy. 4y

Tamra Oh shoot - I was intrigued by the title in your post. 😒 We need more open practical discussion on the subject. 4y

The Slow Moon Climbs: The Science, History, and Meaning of Menopause | Susan Mattern

I just read this fantastic article on The Atlantic‘s site. It covers three books on women and aging - the most interesting of which, for me, I tagged. It apparently makes the argument that post-menopausal women provided an evolutionary edge to early societies. As a biologist, I‘m curious to read this book.
Here‘s the link if you‘d like to take a peak: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/10/the-secret-power-of-menopau...
