YESSSSS!
I loved this novel.
I want to buy all the copies and give them to every 10 year old female in the world.

This book deals with Period Shame, Period Poverty, Activism (& how being an activist can affect the people around you) and Realizing Your Sexual-Preference.

قصة مصورة تطرح موضوع الدورة الشهرية ومشاكلها المتعددة من وجهة نظر المرأة طبعًا.
من المشاكل التي تحدث عنها الكتاب والتي أولى الاهتمام بها أكثر من غيرها هي مشكلة قلّة توفر علب الفوط الصحية النسائية في المرافق العامة ودورات المياه في المدارس والأماكن العامة، وإن وجِدت فلا يتم الاعتناء بها ولا إعادة تعبئتها بل وتكون بمقابل مالي..
تطرح الكاتبة أهمية أن تكون هذه المواد مجانية ومتوفرة للجميع لأهميتها وحاجة فئة كبيرة من المجتمع إليها.

تحدثت كذلك عن عدة مواضيع أخرى بشكل أقل من المشكلة المذكورة سابقًا، ومنها؛ تنوع آلام الدورة الشهرية من امرأة لأخرى، الضريبة الوردية، قلة الاهتمام بالدورة الشهرية علميًا وطبيًا، ومشاكل أخرى.
الرسومات جميلة، والفكرة رائعة بالطبع، سعيدة بانتشار الوعي والتحدث بصوت عالي عن مواضيع يتم تجاهلها عمدًا لأسباب واهية.. واثقة أن ذلك سيحدث تغيير إيجابي بإذن الله، وأتمنى أن أشهده بنفسي.

this book was great.it teaches/ shows another pesons pov and teaches how they go through the struggle of periods. It a;so shows friend ship and how important it is to have them. It also shows that us girls need to stick together. we need to have eachothers backs and the bathrooms need to have more sanity things for yung ladys and or older women. so who ever made this book made it in clear detail how they think people should care and also girls and  boys should have equal rights bc its not fair for boys to have morethen girls bc if we had more then them they would complain wich is crazy. anyways this book is inspiring so thanks for reading my review bye.

I wish I had this graphic novel when I was younger! It's not just about periods; it's about activism, friendship, and bullying. Three teenagers take a new kid under their wing after she gets her period at school and all her classmates start taunting her and calling her Bloody Mary because it went through her pants. The four of them quickly become close and realize how unfair it is that the pad machine is never stocked AND it costs money. They decide they want to try and change that but they don't know how. A beautiful graphic novel that is a must read for teenagers, teachers, parents; and women of all ages. It's never to early to make a difference!
