Against this backdrop, the authors craft expansive, agency-affirming futures for living with\/and\/through menopause.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcross six chapters, the authors trace how menopause circulates through medical research, workplace expectations, caregiving pressures, health applications, and popular media. They show how decades of medicalization, beauty culture, and binary thinking through various “menobooms” have constrained what menopause can mean-and what women are allowed to feel, choose, or imagine during this transition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLiving Menopause\u003c\/i\u003e invites scholars and practitioners to join a conversation already underway-one that challenges stigma, expands agency, and opens new futures for how we understand and experience menopause. Ultimately, this book encourages readers to continue to critique and think outside current menopause discourse en route to imagining, constructing, and demanding new stories around the menopause experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLori Beth De Hertogh \u003c\/b\u003eis Associate Professor and Graduate Program Director in the School of Writing, Rhetoric \u0026amp; Technical Communication at James Madison University, USA. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnn E.
