Galloping Catastrophe

In 1966, Dr Robert Wilson (a New York gynaecologist) declared all Menopausal Women 'Galloping Catastrophes'. And though it was meant in a derogatory manner - many menopausal women would declare it fairly accurate This 'self-help' book is a bit different from the average menopausal book. No images of slim happy healthy woman skipping their way through the menopause flicking their thick golden locks behind them. It is more like chatting to a friend who totally gets it, as they too can't stop eating chocolate and over-using the 'F' word. It's about what it's really like to be a menopausal woman. Realising you are not alone is perhaps the best self-help there is.
Galloping Catastrophe isn't intended to be read all the way through from start to finish. It is more of a dip in and dip out. Had a ****** of a day? Plucking bristles from your chin? Can't fit into your clothes? Read someone else's brutally honest experiences - and feel just that wee bit better, that it's not just you
Scottish writer Jennifer runs an award winning blog on the menopause which has now amassed over 33000 followers and she'd would like to see this book reach every woman, and their significant others, in the hope it makes them laugh so much at the absurdity of this stage in life that the tears run down their legs.
