Something I'd like to read...



Red Flower

According to a Women's Studies list I'm on:

"The book "Red Flower: Rethinking Menstruation" by Dena Taylor remains a
valuable part of the literature on menstruation. In it, Taylor debunks the
myths and prejudices surrounding this natural process, through carefully
documented research, cross-cultural perspectives, and insight from women of
all ages.

The Blackburn Press has just reprinted the book, making it available to a
new generation of students in Women's Studies.

No other single book includes all that this one does: Worldwide practices,
menarche, menstrual physiology and products, the power of menstruation, men'
s relationship to women's bleeding, sexuality, and menopause, as well as
contributions from women across the country in the form of poetry, stories,
and responses to a questionnaire."
