In this short monologue, the speaker highlights a pervasive knowledge gap: many women only learn about essential aspects of their bodies—such as ovarian function, ovarian failure, and perimenopause—when a problem arises. She points out that doctors and educators rarely inform women in advance, leading to shock and distress when these life stages occur. The speaker emphasizes that proactive education about female physiology is crucial to mitigate these negative experiences.

many women don't understand these basic things about their bodies until something goes wrong, until they go to use their ovaries and they're not working, or until they come up against perimenopause and no one's ever told them— a doctor, nobody has ever told them that these things are going to happen. And it's a terrible shock to most people. So just educating women about their own physiology is a big piece of this.
