It seems I had an incorrect mental definition of menopause, associating it with the typical end of fertility, which indeed I've read to have normally happened in the 30's for women in preindustrial  societies.

However menopause seems to be properly defined as the end of menstration, which indeed, as someone pointed out, seems to happen at a median age of 51, an age that indeed seems not to have changed for centuries.

I apologize for making a fuss without checking my definitions first.
