Societal perspectives on menopause and the menopause cultural revolution: friend or foe to healthcare practitioners?

While menopause has long being viewed as stigmatised, or secret ‘women’s business’, it has begun to hit headlines across Northern Europe and increasingly in the US through celebrity endorsements, public awareness campaigns and growing consultancy and lifestyle consumer markets. This presentation will discuss these trends as part of a social contemporary la ndscape of menopause, including the impact of ‘gendered ageism’ and how recent popular and media commentary around women’s midlife health experiences connects with cultural and economic outcomes.
