Susan Mattern says yes and, in \u003ci\u003eThe Slow Moon Climbs\u003c\/i\u003e, reveals just how wrong we have been. From the rainforests of Paraguay to the streets of Tokyo, Mattern draws on historical, scientific, and cultural research to show how perceptions of menopause developed from prehistory to today. Introducing new ways of understanding life beyond fertility, Mattern examines the fascinating \"Grandmother Hypothesis,\" looks at agricultural communities where households relied on postreproductive women for the family's survival, and explores the emergence of menopause as a medical condition in the Western world. \u003ci\u003eThe Slow Moon Climbs\u003c\/i\u003e casts menopause in the positive light it deserves--as an essential juncture and a key factor in human flourishing.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan P.
