'If you're a woman over 40, ever going to be a woman over 40 or
you've ever met a woman over 40 you should read this book' JANE
FALLON 'I NEED this book. We ALL need this book! If menopause
happened to men, there would be CELEBRATIONS and parties every time
one of them completed their change.' MARIAN KEYES 'A compelling
voice within [the menopause] movement' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Funny,
frank and empowering... a vital book for any woman who is at the
beginning of her radicalisation journey, looking at her life and
finally piecing together the personal and the political.' THE
OBSERVER 'Sam Baker is rewriting the narrative around menopause'
WOMAN & HOME 'A rollicking read' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'I loved it..
blazingly hopeful and beautifully written. This book is meant to be
mainlined.' LISA TADDEO 'This gem is a guide to navigating your 40s
and 50s and just generally being yourself. ... joyful, positive,
and goes to ALL the places. Highly recommended.' JOJO MOYES The
essential manifesto for any woman staring the second half of their
lives in the face and wondering, WTF is going on? * Invisible to
society now you're past child-bearing age? * Tired of being
disregarded, overlooked and underestimated? * Wondering what the
hell is happening to your body, mind and internal thermostat? Women
over forty are the most ignored demographic in society. And yet
this is the time when you are likely to have the most freedom,
power, confidence and self knowledge than ever before. Some serious
life has been lived: there have been great loves, heartbreaks,
births, marriages, careers, betrayals, bereavements and survival.
So what now? What happens when the narrative given to you by
society - husband, babies, house - runs out and you become
storyless? Including chapters on menopause, sex, culture, work,
rage and freedom, writer and journalist Sam Baker shares her
experiences of life post 40 and shows how women to create their own
story. This needn't herald the era of loose clothing and hair dye;
or hot flashes and bad sleep (though there is that too). It's time
women north of 40 took a leaf out of the millennial handbook and
reinvented things our way. Sam hosts a podcast of the same name,
now with over 50 thousand downloads. Harness your energy, opinions
and power and create a liberating new narrative for the second half
of life. 'I am so glad The Shift exists. Sam's writing is a
wonderful generous mixture of no-bullsh*t and a comforting hug.
I'll be passing this book on to many women I know and love.' EMMA
GANNON 'brilliant - powerful, brimming with integrity, inspiring,
the politics of anger and what it means when we refuse to be
invisible. Every woman (whatever her age) should buy, borrow, lend
a copy' KATE MOSSE 'This is such a painfully beautiful look at the
menopause in all its complexity. As honest as it is insightful,
this is the first book I've read about later womanhood that
exchanges shame and fear for truth and celebration... does for
40-something women what the honest parenting movement did for
mothers.' ANNA WHITEHOUSE, founder, Mother Pukka 'great pace and
feisty content. It will be a great help to women to see their lives
mirrored and not feel like they are going mad... bold and funny.'
CARYN FRANKLIN '[Sam] tackles the menopause with her customary wit
and wisdom' i PAPER 'Honest and witter account of life post-40.
Makes for essential reading at any age.' - KATE WILLS, FABULOUS
MAGAZINE 'Insightful, thoughtful, inspirational - impressive work.'
- VICTORIA DERBYSHIRE
