A new generation of women are demanding that the next chapter of their lives no longer be ignored, overlooked or squandered.
Mobilized by a diverse coalition of doctors and lawyers, social and racial justice activists, CEOs and celebrities, the modern menopause movement is well underway. Some attribute it to generational politics, the estimated 6,000 Gen Xers now entering menopause every day in the United States. The women of Gen X are book-ended by their postmenopausal moms and mentors and by millennials, who are already or soon to be in the throes of perimenopause. As Ms. executive director for partnerships and strategy Jennifer Weiss-Wolf writes, “Menopause is not an afterthought for us. Nor can we continue to tolerate being society’s afterthought.”
Plus: three new best-sellers on menopause by Dr. Mary Claire Haver, Dr. Sharon Malone and Dr. Lisa Mosconi, and resource guide for women “leaning into the second half of their lives”
