The aim of this project is to analyse whether and how attitudes towards menopause—partly—determine how women experience the menopause. To this end, we will ask women who do not have any menopausal symptoms yet how they perceive the menopause, and compare their answers to those provided by peri- and post-menopausal women. Does the way post-menopausal women look back on their menopause differ from how premenstrual women perceive menopause? What do pre-menopausal women fear exactly, and are these fears always justified, in hindsight?
