Puberty, pregnancy: hundreds of books have been written about these great hormonal shuffles in a woman’s life. As author of the How to Survive…-series, which helped thousands of teenagers through a difficult time, Francine Oomen knows what she is talking about. But menopause, the second big hormonal shuffle, has never truly been on the map. So when Oomen experienced this first-hand, she was totally ambushed by the symptoms, from brainfog to mood swings to all kinds of strange ailments. And a writer’s block. But the greatest challenge was perhaps her inner battle with Shrew, her inner critic and slave driver. Her struggle has led to this magnificent graphic memoir. Informative, aesthetically pleasing, comforting, confronting and hilarious, a book that documents a personal journey through an unknown and often challenging territory. A story that also opens our eyes to an important medical and social issue.
