" Living Menopause advances rhetoric of reproductive health by foregrounding the multidimensional embodiment of menopause. Each chapter traces how individuals come to know, become, and navigate the menopausal body. The authors' willingness to articulate personal experience underscores the necessity of sustained scholarly attention to bodily taboos and stigmas while opening space for reimagining reproductive futures and collective action. Taken together, the book strengthens rhetorical scholarship that centers the lived realities, narratives, and embodied knowledge of reproductive bodies." -- Maria Novotny, Associate Professor of English, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, USA "This work calls for collective action to reimagine the reductive binaries surrounding menopause in medical and popular discourses. Bringing together leading voices in rhetoric and composition and the rhetoric of health and medicine, this book is a must-read for scholars and students in these fields, healthcare providers, and "menopausers" themselves. The chapters reveal rhetorical tensions in menopause discourse on perimenopause, hormone replacement therapy, pop culture, surgical menopause, menopause at work, and menopause health care apps. Weaving empirical research with lived experience, the authors evoke the complexity of menopause in ways that mitigate stigma and welcome new embodied and rhetorical possibilities for menopause futures.
