Halle Berry, 59, Blasts Treatment of Menopausal Women in America

Once considered a taboo topic, menopause is more talked-about than ever. Still, America’s treatment of menopausal women is severely lacking, says Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry.

On December 3, Berry took the stage at the DealBook Summit, an annual live journalism event hosted by The New York Times. In her talk, the 59-year-old actress shared her views on the current state of women’s health, wellness, and aging.

“Our culture thinks that, at 59 years old, I am past my prime,” the Catwoman star said, according to the Hollywood Reporter. She claimed that, at her age, women “start to become invisible in Hollywood, in the workplace, on social media.”
