The change by Kirsten Miller: An ecofeminist manifesto for menopause

The chapter speculates on the positive outcomes for menopausal woment who position this time of their lives as empowering, fulfilling, and part of a natural process, rather than a time of deficit and invisibility. The Change by Kirsten Miller positions menopausal woment as aligned with the natural environment in a mutually respectful and advantageous way, particularly when critiquing and crushing the societal practices and expectations determined by patriarchal thinking. An ecofeminist reading of The Change theorises that the novel is a manifesto for ecofeminism and a potential literary catalyst for rethinking menopause.
