Lidia Yuknavitch teams up with 12 of today's sharpest writers to change the way we think about menopause. Exploring a variety of themes from freedom and mortality to sexuality and the patriarchy, The Big M is a kaleidoscope of unique perspectives on a universal experience, each writer navigating the profound changes in their bodies and lives in their own ways.

At times funny, insightful, subversive, and inspiring, The Big M aims to rebrandโ€”and reinventโ€”our understanding of menopause.

The Big M includes work from a diverse group of influential writers, including: Roxane Gay, Cheryl Strayed, Nguy?n Phan Qu? Mai, Reyna Grande, Joey Soloway, Nana-Ama Danqua, Gina Frangello, Monica Drake, Lan Samantha Chang, Julia Alvarez, Darcey Steinke, and Pam Houston. By including a wide range of voices and perspectives, Yuknavitch's collection ensures that every reader feels less alone with an experience thatโ€”while commonโ€”has been taboo for too long.
