The publishing world has embraced this new movement with a raft of must-read books on perimenopause and menopause written by enlightened specialist GPs such as Dr Louise Newson and Dr Shazadhi Harper as well women in the public eye such as Mariella Frostrup, Liz Earle and Davina McCall (whose book Menopausing is due out in May).
