"""Menopause is not a disease; it's a passage to power."" - Unknown Welcome to the opening chapter of ""Own Your Health with Feminism and Facts in the Menopause Manifesto."" In these pages, we embark on a journey that seeks to demystify, destigmatize, and celebrate menopause. It's a transformational period in a woman's life, often shrouded in misconceptions and silence. In this chapter, we dive into the significance of discussing menopause openly, embracing it as a natural and empowering life transition. The Silence Around Menopause Picture this: a woman, perhaps in her late 40s or early 50s, experiencing hot flashes, mood swings, and irregular periods. These are telltale signs of menopause, a universal and inevitable phase of life. Yet, despite its universality, menopause has often been veiled in silence. Women, society, even healthcare systems have whispered about it, or worse, refrained from discussing it altogether. But why? One reason is the pervasive discomfort in society surrounding women's bodies and the natural aging process. Menopause is a reminder that women age, and society has long struggled with accepting the aging female body. This discomfort translates into silence and avoidance, leaving women to navigate this transformative period largely in the dark. This silence has perpetuated myths, fueled misconceptions, and left countless women feeling isolated, even ashamed, during a time when they should be empowered and celebrated. The dearth of open dialogue has allowed outdated stereotypes to persist, portraying menopausal women as ""past their prime"" or ""over the hill."" But we're here to change that narrative."
