"While our main goal is to help women navigate the profound changes that will inevitably rock their world during menopause, our secondary agenda is to educate everyone else around them—partners, friends, family members, coworkers. Finally, we hope that this book finds its way into the hands of the next generation of women so that they have the tools to take control of their health as they approach midlife."
—Oprah Daily
"If it was not for Gayle King bringing me to Oprah to discuss menopause, I would not be the empowered person I am now. I came into their circle a novice and I am now a proud champion of the movement that they brought me into. Everyone needs to be summoned by safe and smart women. It’s a club. And I am so proud and honored to be a member!"
—Drew Barrymore
