Publisher's Summary

A friendly, frank, compassionate and comprehensive companion for any woman experiencing menopause, or anyone wondering what to expect.

Every woman will eventually go through menopause—that's half the population of the planet! And yet it's something that is still not fully explored. It's held in shame for some women and ignored by others. It can be devastating to some and a call to freedom for others. After going through her own 'change', Alison Daddo wanted to explore all the feelings around menopause and especially the post menopausal years that so many women talk about as being 'the best years of their life'.

Through sharing her own experience in a very real way, Alison hopes that women won't feel so alone in what can be a very lonely time. Alongside stories from some very well-known Australian women (and the men in their lives), including Georgie Parker, Anita Heiss and Rhonda Burchmore, Queen Menopause is the guide Ali wishes she had when she was approaching menopause—so she could be more prepared for what was coming, embrace the process and feel supported.

Every women should read this !!!!

Allison tells the story of Menopause with gentleness, humour and vulnerability. I felt as though she was listening to my heart, body and soul cry through the challenges which gave me courage to face the changes and not feel alone.
She is a beam of light and brutal honesty. This book it my bible for getting through and I thank her for showing up for all of us women!

It's OK

I didn't realise until 10 minutes in this was Alison Brahe. I was a huge fan growing up and so I really wanted to love this. I found what she talked about around menopause as relevant, and I did like the vulnerability of the share. However it doesnt get to solutions soon enough...and I wasnt able to remain engaged. I am moved to look for a more clinical qualified book but I appreciate that some will love this.

Couldn’t finish listening

Boring, annoying voice, I really wanted to like this book but couldn’t finish it. Very self indulgent.

Authentic, Insightful and Just Fabulous

Everything about this book was fabulous. I loved the honesty and authenticity. I went through menopause on the earliest side of the spectrum. I am over it now but boy, I wished I had read this book when I was going through peri-menopause and during the actual menopause. I find nobody, especially younger women, do not want to talk about it and find it embarrassing. Everything in this book helps to elevate menopause for the journey it is—a right of passage for all women. I have always loved Alison Daddo. We are similar ages and I remember buying Dolly as soon as it hit the news stands and would be so excited when she were on the cover. A huge, heartfelt thank you to Alison for her honesty and sharing her genuine life. Alison you are a kindred spirit and I admire you even more for this book, Congratulations. Beautifully written. Beautifully spoken - such calming dulcet vocal tones. My daughter who is in her early 20s, now has a gift. This book! I will guide her to it when it’s her time. God willing I will still be there, as a wise woman to be able to this. This book has given me the tools.

Superficial and self-centred

Almost insulting to women without children as it goes on and on about how terrible it is to lose fertility.
In my opinion achieves the opposite than probably intended with all the references to body image and getting fat.
Finished it, but found it very annoying in many parts.

Struggled to finish

I really couldn’t work out what the book was about. Alison’s life story, a medical laundry list or a therapy session. It was not relatable for me and felt anything relevant to menopause I could Google search.

Great journey on the go

I listened to this over a week of driving. Popping in and out of the car. Sometimes I kept it playing while unloading the shopping as there was a section I couldn’t wait to hear the end of. I enjoyed Ali’s calming voice describe many things I can relate to and now look forward to.
