Why Didn't You Bitches Tell Me?: An Unscientific Introduction to Menopause and Aging for the Utterly Bewildered and Woefully Unprepared

"Oh my f**ing GOD, where was Why Didn't You Bitches Tell Me? when I needed it most? It's an enormous educational resource and a huge relief and just such a gigantic, existential 'SAME' in book form." --Catherine Newman, New York Times bestselling author of Sandwich

"Finally, a book on menopause that is relatable and relevant...A great resource to women for education and personal shared experiences." --Kenyetta C., LCSW-Sexual Health Educator

"This combination of real women's voices, legit resources and facts, irreverent narrative and delightful illustrations unpacks the wide variety of (peri)menopausal symptoms." --Amy Mayer, journalist

A funny, honest, and deeply validating guide to menopause, aging, and the strange realization that nobody prepared us for any of this

One day you're a functioning adult human and the next you're sweating through your sheets, sprouting chin hairs, and rage-crying in random places. Spoiler: turns out this is all completely "normal." Enter Why Didn't You Bitches Tell Me?, a heartfelt and unapologetically honest guide for women in midlife, offering solidarity through frank testimonials, eye-opening anecdotes, and cheeky illustrations aimed to build community and destigmatize the experience of being in an aging female body.

Addressing the millions of women that stumble through this hormonal obstacle course armed with only misinformation and shame, Jordanna Hertz and Shauna Cagan tackle everything from hot flashes, HRT, and bone health to Botox, sex, and the lonely experience of becoming culturally irrelevant. Blending expert insight, candid stories from real women, practical advice, and cultural commentary, Why Didn't You Bitches Tell Me? validates the experiences countless women live through but seldom see openly discussed.

Why Didn't You Bitches Tell Me? is the book we wish someone had handed us much earlier.
