hot-flush lit

There is another lit to add to the collection, a genre of novels featuring menopausal women.  A variant on this is the crime sub-genre, hot-flush noir. Picture the stereotypical female cop battling the sexism of her male colleagues, the depression of a divorce, and now the difficulties of menopause as well.  It should have great market appeal.  One writer said that all she did was take the typical young adult plot based on the stress of adolescence triggering superhuman powers, replacing the stressed-out adolescent with a stressed-out menopausal woman.  It worked perfectly!
