The conversation around menopause has opened up; most of us understand what it means to go through the menopause, how it affects health and wellbeing and what we can do to manage difficult symptoms. Danzebrink was one of the first people to take up the fight to have menopause recognised and covered on the school PSHE curriculum and her campaigns have been critical to the way in which menopause is no longer seen as a shameful or trivial experience. Her book 'Making Menopause Matter' reminds us not only of what menopause is - of the scope, nature, and impact of symptoms and of how we can manage them - but also why it is important that we continue to campaign for access to support, enhanced understanding and an acceptance that it is not a seamless transition for many.
