Abstract

Research on menopause has largely been conducted from a medicalised and heterosexist perspective and as a result, lesbians' experiences remain unknown and invisible. Whilst working as a women's health nurse, I became acutely aware of the heterosexist nature of printed information on menopause. It was at this time that I decided to explore lesbians' experiences of menopause as a PhD topic. In this piece, I share the views expressed by many participants of that study who challenge the negative, stereotypical perceptions of menopause and add a new positive dimension to the current narrow view of women at mid life.
