Menopause books list
Somerset Libraries have put together a list of books to help you understand and learn about the menopause
What is the menopause?
The menopause is a natural stage of life but has until recently remained a taboo subject.
Perimenopause describes the time of life when your hormones start to change and your periods can become irregular, and you start to have one or more menopausal symptoms. Women in their forties are likely to begin noticing the signs of perimenopause.
The menopause is 12 months since your last period. On average this happens at 51 years, but for some women it can happen earlier.
The staff at Somerset Libraries have collated a list of books to help you understand and learn about the menopause, covering the areas of health, nutrition, work and lifestyle. We have also collated a list of fiction books on the topic of menopause.
Each of the titles below links to LibrariesWest, where you can reserve the book and see where it is available to borrow.
