About

Menopause affects millions of people, yet the law has largely ignored this fundamental stage of life. It's time for that to change. 

In Hot Flash, legal scholars Emily Gold Waldman, Bridget J. Crawford, and Naomi R. Cahn examine the cultural stigma, institutional barriers, and legal inequalities surrounding menopause. 

Despite its prevalence, menopause remains a subject of silence and misunderstanding, often leaving those experiencing it without adequate workplace protections, medical support, or legal recognition. 

Drawing on feminist legal theory, reproductive justice, and discrimination law, the authors explore how menopause intersects with gender, age, disability, race, and economic inequality. They examine existing protections for pregnancy and breastfeeding, demonstrating how similar legal approaches could better accommodate menopause in workplaces and public life. 

Combining rigorous legal analysis with accessible social commentary, Hot Flash challenges readers to rethink how society approaches aging, reproductive health, and gender discrimination. 

A timely and thought-provoking call for legal reform, workplace inclusion, and a future where menopause is acknowledged rather than overlooked.
