Full Description
What happens when the menopause becomes a source of inequality?
This groundbreaking book exposes the rising tide of menopause-related discrimination across workplaces, healthcare settings and the justice system, clearly establishing the urgency of the issue. Through an intersectional lens, the contributors reveal how age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, chronic illness, neurodivergence and disability shape experiences of neglect and exclusion of menopausal people, from inconsistent GP care and prison-based health inequalities to family law disadvantages.
Offering practical pathways forward as well as an agenda for future research, this is an essential call to address widespread social injustice.
