Notes
The collaboratively produced work challenged the typical media narrative of menopause, which often excludes those identifying as LGBTQ+, working class or from the global majority.
It was co-produced with three community groups: Breightmet Butterflies, a free weekly women’s group based in Breightmet, Bolton; Sanctuary Storytellers, a women’s creative writing group based at Bolton Central Library and part of City of Sanctuary Bolton; and LGBTQ+ Horwich, a new group formed exclusively for the project following an open call for members from the LGBTQ+ community to share their experiences.
