First, we were told we all needed to have HRT to remain interesting for our husbands. Then, we were told it was going to give us cancer and put us in an early grave. Next, we were told HRT was safe and we had to take it, or we'd all end up with crippling brain fog, quitting our jobs and descending into dementia as the economy collapsed around us. On the other side of the fence are those who argue that menopause is natural, it doesn't need treating, and a cold-water swim could fix everything. No wonder we're more confused than ever. Why has this happened? What does the evidence say? 'Menowars' explains why menopause is such a political hot potato, taking into account the history of gender bias in health and health research, the void and how it's filled, and what the evidence actually says.
