ADVANCE PRAISE FOR HOT AND BOTHERED
“Hot and Bothered removes the shroud of shame, disdain and mystery that's surrounded menopause ever since the first vaginas roamed the earth. As a longtime fan of Jancee Dunn's writing and a fairly new fan of menopause (buh-bye cramps and bloating, hello white pants!) I'm so thrilled that Jancee lends her journalistic savvy and hilarious voice to such an informative, entertaining and desperately needed book.”
—JEN SINCERO, author of You Are a Badass
“The iconic oracle Jancee Dunn does it again—simultaneously demystifying a subject while giving us a way forward making us laugh and cry. A trademark blend of humor, science and storytelling Hot and Bothered is a must read for all women and those who love them.”
—EVE RODSKY, author of Fair Play and Find Your Unicorn Space
“Every person’s menopause experience is different, but Dunn’s book highlights with candor, thoughtfulness, and wit, a shared desire of people in that phase of life—and any phase of life, really: to be seen, heard, and loved.”
—ABBY NORMAN, author of Ask Me About My Uterus: A Quest to Make Doctors Believe in Women’s Pain
“Are You There, Jancee? It’s Me, Ovaries. Jancee Dunn is your new best friend, here in her latest book to answer every question you have about menopause…even the ones you were about to ask but just forgot. She delivers a heavy flow of enlightenment about perimenopause and menopause with more than a [pap] smear of vulnerable hilarity and the bedside manner of a very best friend. This book is a gift to every woman who’s ever wondered, ‘Am I going mad?’ and ‘Why isn’t anyone talking about this stuff?’ and especially, ‘Is it hot in here, or is it just me?”
—FAITH SALIE, author of Approval Junkie and contributor to CBS News Sunday Morning
“Dunn calls on Gen X to undo the ageism and sexism that colors any discussion of menopause. Experts in medicine, science, and wellness help the author address often taboo topics including menopause-related incontinence, as well as hormonal therapy and sexual health. Throughout, Dunn is inclusive of nonbinary and transgender people, and uses gender-neutral phraseology: ‘Diversity and inclusion are vital in all aspects of menopausal support,’ she writes.”
—PUBLISHERS’ WEEKLY
“Every woman over 35 should read this book to prepare and educate herself on a stage of life too often shrouded in secrecy, shame, and misinformation—perimenopause and menopause. Hot and Bothered combines advice from the world’s leading experts, science, and personal stories, with a good dose of humor thrown in. Reading it feels like talking to a trusted friend who is knowledgeable, wise, and funny. Janice Dunn has crafted the most up-to-date, scientifically-sound, helpful, relatable, and enjoyable book on menopause I’ve ever read.”
—LAURIE MINTZ, PHD, author of A Tired Woman’s Guide to Passionate Sex and Becoming Cliterate
“Hot and Bothered offers both accessible, pragmatic guidance on navigating menopause and an indictment of the cultural silence and medical ignorance surrounding an experience shared by half the population.”
—MAYA DUSENBERY, author of Doing Harm: The Truth About How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick
“If there’s one place you’re going to find what makes you feel GOOD during this time in your life, I swear it’s in this book.”
