Bloody Hell‪!‬

 Featuring seventeen essays from people all around the world,  Bloody Hell!  is a collection of adventures in menopause from across the personal and political spectrum that aims to light a fire of shamelessness and break the boundaries surrounding this 'taboo' topic. 


As a feminist of colour who often resorts to writing what she has long wanted to read, editor Mona Eltahawy has seen first-hand how when a movement takes a brave dive into the deep end of a taboo, representation can be limited.  Bloody Hell!  is the antidote.



This is not a medical textbook, nor is it a guide on how to remedy or fix anything. Rather, it is a collection of menopausal individuals – women, transmasculine and non-binary people – with their own entry point into that transition who can share unique insights and anecdotes about menopause that are deeply intimate, highly informative and hugely relatable.



Menopause can be a confusing and anxiety-ridden time spent navigating the unknown. However, it can also be an opportunity for transformation, liberation and self-love.  Bloody Hell!  is a chance for new beginnings, knowledge and power and these essays encourage us to embrace the messy and beautiful nature of change.
