Wise Power

Menopause is too often treated as a condition to endure or a problem to manage, and the myths and half-truths around it can leave women feeling dismissed. This book takes a different view and presents the change as a source of strength and insight. Its authors argue that the years around menopause can deepen your sense of authority and purpose and open you to a larger personal power and wisdom.

Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer, the founders of Red School, are both pioneers of the menstruality movement. They present this stage of life as a sacred passage, an initiation that marks a new stage of growth. The book combines this reframing with practical guidance, written with humour, warmth and a direct, honest tone.

The aim is to restore the dignity of menopause and to guide readers back to themselves, toward a sense of belonging.
