WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS?
Perimenopause, Menopause, Other Indignities, and You
An informative, blisteringly funny, somewhat cranky and always spot-on guide to perimenopause and menopause by the author of S.E.X., award-winning sex ed/health educator, and founder of scarleteen.com
With over 30+ years as an educator, Heather has taught everyone from toddlers to teenagers, medical students to abortion providers; and parents, teachers, and grandparents and in What Fresh Hell Is This? Heather is now speaking directly to GenX women who are hitting "the Change of Life." To quote the author, "hang on to your ice packs!"
What Fresh Hell Is This is an inclusive, horrified-but-guardedly-hopeful tour through perimenopause and menopause, featuring frank and comprehensive health information even those in the deepest of brain fogs can grasp, as well as empathy and gallows humor for those who find themselves at this special time of life.
Heather has been on the cutting edge of health for more than twenty years, always talking about what people are most afraid, ashamed, or embarrassed of. What Fresh Hell Is This? is no different. It's a companion for everyone who's reached this "what to expect when you're not expected to expect anything" time of life. It's a health-forward, feminist, no b.s. (and damn funny) perimenopause guide for the generation that time forgot (aka GenXers), offering straightforward descriptions of our bodies, minds, lives and what's going on with them during this time of hormonal chaos. Heather Corinna tells you what to expect and what to do, all while busting some myths and offering real self-care tips so you can get through this. With practical, clear information that also includes affected populations who have long been left out of the discussion, like those with disabilities, queer, transgender, nonbinary and other gender-diverse people, the working class and other marginalized folks, What Fresh Hell Is This? an accessible and inclusive guide for anyone who is experiencing the hot fire of perimenopause.
Heather Corinna is a dedicated queer feminist activist, author, educator, artist, teacher, organizer and innovator. They are the founder and direction of Scarleteen, the first truly comprehensive sex, sexuality and relationships education online resource for young people, since 1998. Heather is also the author of S.E.X: The All-You-Need-To-Know Sexuality Guide to Get You Through Your Teens and Twenties, now in its second edition. Their award-winning work in sex and health education has received acclaim from Roxane Gay, Emily Nagoski, Ms. Magazine, BUST, Bitch, On Our Backs, The New York Times, and the ACLU, and their essays, fiction, poetry and photography have appeared in publications such as Teen Vogue and The Guardian. Heather is navigating middle age with as much grace as they can muster (spoiler: not much), and currently lives and works in their hometown of Chicago.
