Despite the difficulty Keyes had with her own menopause, she is keen to empower post-menopausal women through her writing.
Talking to The Guardian about her romance novel, Again, Rachel, which is about a middle-aged woman who is a recovering addict but finds love, Keyes said: “As a menopausal woman, I like banging the drum for the idea that we don’t all wither when we are 37.
“I write about women being sexual past the watershed of 40 when we are supposed to shut up shop.”
