Dare I Say It: Everything I Wish I'd Known About Menopause by Naomi WattsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
As I'm getting older, I'm more interested in this subject. For the record, I just turned 47. I like Naomi Watts as an actress and was super curious to check out her book on menopause. I really liked her narrative style. It's very relatable and she goes through the things she's learned and what works/worked for her.
She also points out that menopause is something that hasn't really been studied. It just targets women and who cares, right? It's normalized that it's supposed to hurt to be a woman (periods, childbirth, etc). If a woman asks for something, points something out, and/or advocates for herself, there are still some in the medical community that assume she is hysterical, exaggerating, and something else. The DOGE cuts will hurt research (as will DEI being removed from government websites).
