What We Do Not Say About Menopause May Be Hurting the Women Who Follow Us

Every woman who lives long enough will experience menopause. Yet millions still enter one of life's most significant biological transitions with little preparation, inconsistent support and the belief that it is something to endure quietly rather than understand openly.

Migration, economic survival, racial inequality, faith, family responsibility and the expectation to remain strong often left little room to discuss personal health.
