A comprehensive study of menopause throughout history. Drawing on historical, scientific, and cultural studies to show how our understanding and perceptions of menopause developed, this book introduces new ways to understand menopause and correct our erroneous views of life beyond fertility. Arguing that menopause as we view it emerged only in modern Europe with the rise of a professional medical class, this book seeks to reclaim wider understandings from around the world that value the role of older people in society.
