The Hot Topic: Thoughts on the M*N*P**Se

Allegedly, there has never been a better time to be a menopausal woman. We can take hormones; technology is such that 60 really is the new 40 (or maybe even the new 35). And for quite a few women there is liberation and even empowerment in reaching this key milestone of maturity. Except a few nagging questions do remain: what is the point of us now that we are officially biologically irrelevant? Can men still see us (even if we're not wearing purple)? Will flaxseed help? Christa D'Souza takes us on a wry and well informed journey through the menopause. She recounts what happened to her, and what will hapen to you - the physical symptoms and the emotional ones too.
