Heather Corrina’s ‘what fresh hell is this? perimenopause, menopause, other indignities, and you’, available now

So this has arrived! Looking forward to making time for a proper read and review, though just a quick skim I can tell I’m gonna love this book as a refreshing read that shines a light on the real diversity of menopause experiences usually hidden from the mainstream narrative.
I’ll be back with a review when I can, but get your copy now for insights into perimenopause and menopause from Heather Corrina, longtime queer feminist activist, author, and educator.

”From Heather Corinna (that’s me), who has spent the last two decades getting millions of adolescents around the world through the wholly unnecessary crucible puberty is made to be; who spent another bunch of years before that as an emotional doula for giant-sized toddler feelings, comes a guide to the menopausal transition that could only have been written while experiencing both perimenopause and a pandemic, and even then, barely. It’s time — bloodied (truly) and limping through this particular finish line together — for a journey through yet another unavoidable life passage. Buckle up.

Feminist, health-forward, and no b.s., it’s a guide to the menopausal transition that extends a sweaty hand and offers clear, straightforward information about our bodies, minds, lives and what in the actual fuck is going on with them during this time of hormonal mischief and mayhem.

Perimenopause and menopause experiences are as unique as all of us who move through them. While there’s no one-size-fits-all, What Fresh Hell Is This? (Hachette Go!) tells you what can happen and what you can do to take care of yourself, all the while busting pernicious myths, offering real self-care tips–the kind that won’t break the bank or your soul–and running the gamut from hot flashes to hormone therapy. With big tent, practical, clear information and support, inclusive of so many long been left out of the discussion—people with disabilities, queer, trans, nonbinary and other gender-diverse people, BIPOC, working class and other folks—Fresh Hell is the cooling pillow and empathetic best friend to help you through the fire.”
