What Fresh Hell Is This?: Perimenopause, Menopause, Other Indignities, and You by Heather Corinna

5.0

SUPER USEFUL ADVICE, presented by your extremely direct (and profane) best friend who has has a *much* more interesting life than you have had. I recommend dipping in and out to find the bits that address what's going on right now, and skim to rest to make connections about all of the other changes that you had no idea were quite possibly perimenopause-related. It can be ALOT to try and read cover to cover, and the graphic design and layout people failed in making clear delineations of the side bar material versus the main text, which doesn't help. Corinna's recognition of the structural inequalities that make this transition so much harder than it needs to be and her understanding of the interlocking axes of privilege makes this both much more inclusive and more educational about all sorts of things that I hadn't ever really thought about (hello, transmasc peoples!) when I thought about perimenopause. Potentially great fodder as a scaffolding for a support group~
