Menopausing

This inclusive guide to the menopause, written by Davina McCall with Dr Naomi Potter, spent 14 weeks in the Sunday Times top 10, hit the top spot three times overall and is now the bestselling menopause book ever. Our judges were very impressed both by the book itself and HQ’s “evangelical” approach to ensuring it reached the widest possible readership. “There is such a need for this book and the conversations it has started”, agreed the judges.

Menopausing stands at the “vanguard” of a movement campaigning to break taboos around women’s health by talking about menopause “in a really positive way”. “A movement is something everyone is involved in,” said one judge, “and the beauty of this book is that people are picking it up who aren’t directly affected by menopause”.
