Shaili Chopra spent her career making women's lives, and the conversations around them, impossible to ignore. Through her journalism, SheThePeople, and Gytree, she has consistently challenged the silence around women's issues and their suffering. Hot, Bothered and Unapologetic takes on another critical issue – menopause. This book is a rallying cry to understand menopause, talk about it openly, and own this chapter of a woman's life on her own terms.

Shaili Chopra Is a masterful storyteller and through her books and stories she has addressed and highlighted important women's issues. I have always had the greatest admiration for her as an author, advocate and a voice for women and reading Hot, Bothered and Unapologetic I could actually hear all those women and domain experts that she spoke with, speak to me. Over 14 chapters Shaili skilfully weaves authentic voices to identify midlife issues and challenges while presenting practical lifestyle and medical solutions. For me this makes Hot, Bothered and Unapologetic a must read for women, their families and their caregivers as they navigate her midlife together.

In a world where women's truths remain hidden, where silence or ignorance has shrouded the realities we are confronted with when perimenopause arrives, this book is an urgent read. For women, for families, for allies of women. So we can understand our changing bodies better and are better equipped to support ourselves and each other.

Hot, Bothered and Unapologetic is a refreshingly honest and much-needed guide to perimenopause and menopause. As a dermatologist, I see first-hand how hormonal changes impact not just the skin and hair, but also a woman's confidence and sense of self. Shaili Chopra breaks the silence around midlife with science, lived experiences and candid conversations, empowering women to navigate this transformative phase with awareness, confidence and, most importantly, without apology.
