Secret Menses Business

Essential reading for all women (and for the men who love them)

Suzanne has done the hard yards... to create an accessible and informative book that will take a lot of the stress out of peri and post menopause.

Years of academic research from experts has been combined with her creative flair for writing and expressing concepts in an approachable and knowledgeable way.

This along with with personal experience has produced a manual of profound importance, imbued with her light and friendly touch.

Not since the Red Tent, have I read a book so welcoming to us all as women, who let’s face it, all go through this stage at some point in our lives.

These subjects are still in many ways taboo, and having grown up in an age where silence and secret whispers were mainly the norm or rolled eyeballs and an acceptance as ‘women’s business”, I still struggle with some quite graphic current advertising for tampons. Although, I am unhappy with myself for feeling that way. It is part of life (essential to life) after all.

However, it is now time for a change, and this skillful combination of academia with examples of real life situations is an eye-opener and page turner.

No longer will I struggle by myself with some of the issues I have faced since menopause. I will definitely be enquiring about possible solutions as a result of reading Susanne’s book.

As she mentions herself, if she had been empowered with the knowledge she has now, she could have saved herself a lot of heartache and bewilderment.

“Different and complementary. And there ends my cautionary tale of how bias and conflict of interest can play out” (referring to how the medical world is subjected to economic pressures).

Jump to Chapter 8 if you don’t want to go through all the balanced evidence until another time. This is where the juice is, and if you are pre-menopausal take note! I can tell you, it’s worth the read.

Probably the biggest compliment is that I will be giving this book to my daughters, my nieces, and god-daughters. They may not want to read it today, but will have it as their ‘go to’ bible to refer to, and at least have unbiased knowledge as we have it now, which I have not seen elsewhere to date. 

Perhaps when they get to my age, things will be very different and hormonal imbalance without address will be a thing of the past, but in the meanwhile pick this one up.

It’s up there as a very ‘good read’.

“Let’s keep the rage off the roads and partners safe from sharp implements” and make our lives simpler, easier and with more compassion and understanding. Cannot wait for her next book!
