The Potent Power of Menopause

A Culturally Diverse Perspective on Feminine Transformation
By Dawn Bates

An open and honest, frank and insightful anthology by 10 women and 1 man from various countries, cultures and faiths around the world – and has the addition of humour which the world has come to enjoy and expect from my books, on the subjects that matter.

Future Books…

With almost twenty-five years working in the specialities of leadership, cultural diversity and human rights, this series is an accumulation of Dawn’s expertise and experience, underpinned with her studies into anthropology, cultural communication and ethics with the University of Oxford.

Being a Digital Nomad is the first in the series and will be available for purchase in Spring 2024, with the remaining titles following on close behind.

You can expect each of the titles – crossing the subjects of long distance parenting, women, the environment, sailing, leadership, culture, food, languages, as well as witchcraft and religion – to be as no-nonsense, down to earth, brilliant as always, and not forgetting the dash of humour readers have come to recognise and love from Dawn’s writing, even on the most challenging of topics.
