The menopause: I was taken aback by how crazy I felt
As part of our series on The Menopause, we asked Allison Pearson to share her experiences of 'the change' with Woman's Hour.
The author reveals the mental and physical impact it had on her and her family, why it formed the inspiration for her latest novel How Hard Can it Be? and why she thinks attitudes need to change.
Woman's Hour is shining a light on The Menopause all week long; Join Jane Garvey for Monday's phone-in with 91福利社 Radio Sheffield's Paulette Edwards, hear the results of our Menopause Poll on Tuesday, we'll discuss its impact on women's relationships on Wednesday, their work on Thursday and discuss solutions and treatments on Friday.
