Reviews
A frank and funny guide ... Full of heart - and answers - this guide will be a useful resource for readers new to perimenopause. * Publishers Weekly * I have loved Heather Corinna's work for twenty years, and What Fresh Hell Is This is their best yet. This book feels like your best friend talking to you over drinks-if your best friend is a shit-talking, patriarchy-smashing, intersectionally feminist professor of the history of reproductive medicine and also an endocrinologist with a side hustle as a comedian. Please read this book. * Dr Emily Nagoski, New York Times bestselling author of Come As You Are * Corinna's vast commonsense wisdom-especially on topics relating to gender roles, queer sexuality and gender identities-has the potential to improve the physical and emotional health of anyone who reads it, and to help heal our culture's unhealthy, conflicted approaches to sex, sexuality and gender. * Lisa Jervis, Bitch magazine cofounder *
