Description:
Anne Herrmann awoke from surgery for endometriosis and discovered that, without consulting her, her physician had given her -- a woman in her mid-thirties-a hysterectomy. Thrust into instant menopause, she found herself, without warning, in a body that was not her own. In A Menopausal Memoir, she examines her journey through loss, recovery, and healing; the connection between precipitated menopause, mourning, and memory; the instability of sexual identity; structures of storytelling; and the category of experience within feminist theory.
Expand description
A Menopausal Memoir interweaves the past and the present -- memories with current emotions. Hermann addresses the experience of induced menopause from the point of view of someone who is not a straight, married mother, but rather a feminist scholar who has thought about the relationship between the female body and the meanings attached to it.
