    Show notes

    Writer and filmmaker Miranda July says the popular imagination sort of drops off once a woman gets married and has kids.

In today's episode, July speaks to NPR's Brittany Luse about the interviews she conducted with women going through perimenopause and menopause for this book, and the whisper network with her friends that fueled her protagonist's deep desire for something new.
