Celebrate the hot flashes of wisdom and the power that comes with getting older in this hilarious collection of vintage-with-a-twist art and wit—from the bestselling queen of women’s humour, Anne Taintor.

Are you forever young . . . ish? Are you ready for someone to invent cool yoga? Do you see no good reason to act your age? Sure, midlife and menopause can come with moments of wondering if it’s you or the thermostat running warm, but they also bring well-earned realisations and rewards:

  • You’ve awakened from the nightmare of youth.
  • You’re old enough to know better, but too young to give a rat’s ass.
  • Wrinkles reveal character, and you’ve come far enough to realise, honey, you couldn’t pay me to be twenty.

Funny, sarcastic, and sympathetic, with just the right dose of bad behaviour, Anne Taintor’s new collection is proof that getting older is an upgrade.

MENOPAUSE: IT'S SO HOT RIGHT NOW: New York Times bestsellers like The New Menopause and The Menopause Manifesto have ushered in a new era of conversation and knowledge about perimenopause and menopause, tearing down the topic’s longstanding taboo.

TALK ABOUT IT, LAUGH ABOUT IT: Half the population goes through menopause, yet few giftable items address this life transition. Here is a just-right, art-filled humour book to share with mums, sisters, partners, best friends, grandmums, cousins, or anyone you love who may need a bit of laugh-therapy self-care between hot flashes and mood swings.

GREAT GIFT BETWEEN FRIENDS: The ultimate “iykyk” topic for women makes this a fun and thoughtful gift to share with friends and loved ones navigating this phase. Pair with an Anne Taintor calendar to keep track of each day of fresh hell survived to create a hilarious bundle.

ANNE TAINTOR'S BESTSELLING HUMOUR: With over two million books, postcard boxes, and calendars sold, Anne Taintor has been making people laugh since 1985.

Perfect for:

  • Women ages 35–65
  • Anyone going through perimenopause or menopause in need of a laugh
  • Gift-giving for birthday, Mother's Day, and Galentine's Day
  • Readers of The New Menopause, The Menopause Manifesto, and The Menopause Reset
  • Fans of humorous takes on the subject, such as Menopause The Musical and Samantha Bee's How to Survive Menopause
  • Fans of popular perimenopause and menopause novels, including Miranda July’s All Fours and Catherine Newman’s Sandwich

About the Author

Anne Taintor is a relatively good girl with a slightly checkered past. Much emulated, never replicated, she first began pairing vintage illustrations with witty sayings forty years ago, cutting and gluing images at her kitchen table. She is the author of the bestselling humor books I Can’t Be Good All the Time, Someone Has to Set a Bad Example,and But I Wanted a Pony! She is definitely old enough to know better.
