MenoWars

Fiona Clark is a journalist who has covered health and politics for almost 40 years. She has decades of experience working in television, radio, print and online for both consumer and B2B media organisations including the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and on medical publications such as The Lancet, Medical Observer and Australian Doctor. She wrote an opinion column on Russian politics for Deutsche Welle while living in Russia for a number of years and covered both the 1991 coup, and the rise of Putin's totalitarian regime from 2008-2018).In 2016 Fiona set up a website called Harley Street Emporium which aimed to give evidence-based information to women on skincare and general health but within a few months of launching she quickly realised there was a real need for information on menopause, and turned her focus there. She spent years interviewing experts from across the globe and soon became a leading source of evidence-based information on menopause, the Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) and sexual health. In 2023 the site rebranded as Hello Menopause, while at the same time founding the Menopause Research and Education Fund, a charity aiming to support menopause research and deliver education and information to all those who go through menopause as well as healthcare professionals. Fiona has been dubbed 'the Newsnight of menopause' by her fellow experts and clinicians, a phrase first coined by Dr Sarah Molly Ball.

Honest, informed, and refreshingly direct, Menowars is the wake-up call we've needed. It shows just how much misunderstanding still surrounds menopause, and how vital it is that we keep pushing for better.
