I'm reading Flash Count Diary: Menopause and the Vindication of Natural Life by Darcey Steinke. She writes about how the only other species to experience menopause, that is, living a long life after losing reproductive abilities, are killer whales. These whales go on to lead their pods. You read that right. They become the group's leaders.
She writes how menopause is a series of thresholds. Each hot flash is a metamorphosis into something different, a new human being. Someone wiser not lead by youthful folly.
It makes me think of getting away from one father-figure leader (i.e. presidents, CEOs etc) and having a council of post-menopausal women running the show. Kind of sounds amazing, doesn't it?
