The authors of the book Hot Flash: How the Law Ignores Menopause and What We Can Do About It (Stanford University Press, 2024) and commentators will explore the multifaceted challenges and opportunities at the intersections between and among menopause, culture, and law. Like menstruation, menopause is a largely involuntary and age-related phase of life that has long been enveloped in silence and shame. An estimated 46.5 million individuals worldwide experience menopause annually. The authors and commentators will critically examine the current state of research on menopause, unraveling its impact on individuals within the context of legal frameworks and cultural norms around gender, aging, and work.
