Dare I Say It

Praise

“Refreshingly real.”—People Magazine

“Winningly memoiristic. . . . [A guide] for those entering and enduring years of disorienting symptoms [and] a panoply of woes that often coincide inconveniently and confusingly with demanding life changes, ranging from the midlife acceleration of a high-pressure career to raising adolescent children or the emptying of the familial nest.”—The New Yorker

“In the voice of a wise but self-effacing older sister, [Dare I Say It] offers an engaging contribution to . . . discussions of menopause and the dizzying range of its physical and psychological effects on women and their families. . . . Perhaps what’s most winning about this book, ultimately, is its author’s pro-aging message. In a society that values youth above all else, Watts celebrates women’s inherent value, no matter their age.”—Kirkus Reviews

“I stand in admiration of Naomi Watts for tackling the verboten subject of menopause. She is frank, funny, and fearless. Women all around the world will be grateful for her guiding light, as I know I am. Naomi is an American hero (even though no one really knows where she’s actually from).”—Chelsea Handler, New York Times bestselling author of Life Will Be the Death of Me. . . and You Too!

“Naomi Watt’s book, Dare I Say It, simultaneously educates, destigmatizes, and personalizes this universal female experience called menopause. Her book is clear, well-resourced, and provides a balanced approach to navigating the challenges of menopause. By sharing her story, she is showing women how to minimize suffering and maximize their health and happiness as they age. A must-read for every woman over thirty!”—Dr. Sharon Malone, New York Times bestselling author of Grown Woman Talk

“Wow! Dare I Say It is much more than a book about menopause—it’s a revolutionary guide, best friend, and expert wrapped into a fun-to-read package. Watts writes openly about her own story while beautifully weaving in cutting-edge research and expert opinions. A must-read for all women and those who care about them.”—Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play

“With humor, vulnerability, and wisdom, Dare I Say It turns the often taboo topic of menopause into a conversation that is not only necessary but long overdue. This book will resonate with women everywhere seeking guidance, solidarity, and the reassurance that they are not alone in their journey.”­—Dr. Lisa Mosconi, New York Times bestselling author of The Menopause Brain
