A surprising look at the role of menopause in human history-and why
we should change the ways we think about it Are the ways we look at
menopause all wrong? Susan Mattern says yes and, in The Slow Moon
Climbs, reveals just how wrong we have been. From the rainforests
of Paraguay to the streets of Tokyo, Mattern draws on historical,
scientific, and cultural research to show how perceptions of
menopause developed from prehistory to today. Introducing new ways
of understanding life beyond fertility, Mattern examines the
fascinating "Grandmother Hypothesis," looks at agricultural
communities where households relied on postreproductive women for
the family's survival, and explores the emergence of menopause as a
medical condition in the Western world. The Slow Moon Climbs casts
menopause in the positive light it deserves-as an essential
juncture and a key factor in human flourishing.
