I’m reading The Change by Germaine Greer, which is her book about women, aging and menopause. I have found that menopause and aging in general about women isn’t talked about much, even among women, and Greer talks a lot about that.

Sometimes when I read self-help books, I have trouble with the language the writers have used to express their ideas.
