Menopausal Superheroes

It began with soap, tea, skin cream, and supplements. No one predicted the side effects would include super-strength, flight, bulletproof skin, and the ability to wield fire, not even the mad scientist who created the products. 

The Menopausal Superhero series by Samantha Bryant brings together four women from different walks of life who discover that heroism has no age limit. Themes of friendship and family interweave through superheroic adventure plots. Heartfelt connections ground the escapist stories in reality, told through a humorous lens. 

Meet divorcee Helen “Flamethrower” Braeburn whose hot flashes manifest in actual fire, Jessica “Flygirl” Roark cancer survivor who tried to lighten her depression and lost her hold on gravity, Leonel “Fuerte” Alvarez former Latina grandmother now able to throw cars, and Patricia “Lizard Woman” O’Neill whose famously thick skin is now bulletproof. 

Follow them on their journeys from victims to heroes and see what happens when women of experience find a new kind of power.
