We don't acknowledge leakages or admit that we don't know how to find our pelvic floor or even what it does. We buy trendy sports bras without thinking how they work for breast health or exercise performance. We see young women giving up exercise in their teens to the detriment of their health at an older age.

Our current medical system doesn’t allocate sufficient time for women’s issues relating to menopause to be addressed. There just aren’t enough hours in the day for doctors to truly give women the time they need at their annual visits. Education has not kept pace with current data and the study of menopause in medical schools is practically non-existent. The end result is many medical professionals are not up to date on all of the current therapies available to women that are struggling with sometimes debilitating symptoms. It’s a lack of time and a lack of education, and the fact we...

But there was a problem: More than half of the medical care we get in the US may not be “based on, or supported by, adequate evidence,” according to the US National Academy of Medicine.

Are the ways we look at menopause all wrong? Historian Susan Mattern says yes, and The Slow Moon Climbs reveals just how wrong we have been. Taking listeners from the rainforests of Paraguay to the streets of Tokyo, Mattern draws on historical, scientific, and cultural research to reveal how our perceptions of menopause developed from prehistory to today. For most of human history, people had no word for menopause and did not view it as a medical condition. Rather, in traditional foraging and agrarian societies, it was a transition to another important life stage.
