“We can’t continue as a human race without periods - and yet we still can’t acknowledge their existence” - Emma Barnett
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 Stars
When I saw there was an audiobook available about periods, I was all for it. I am a huge advocate for female health in general. It’s important that we all feel confident enough to communicate with each other and push for better support. 🙌🏻
There was A LOT that this book could’ve covered, and I do think Barnett did a good job at hitting a handful of key areas and used humour pretty well. The chapter on period poverty is so important right now so I’m glad that was highlighted. 🩸
I think a lot of us needed a book like this as a teen. So many of us go in blind, often feeling embarrassed. Discussion and knowledge surrounding periods definitely needs to be normalised. 👌🏻
That being said, I don’t think this was anything particularly groundbreaking or helpful considering it came out in the last few years. I also don’t think it’s was particularly inclusive and sometimes not sensitive enough either. 👀
It was empowering to start with but did start to become a bit samey after a while. It is straight forward and simple enough for people who do not experience periods or have little knowledge to pick up. But it’s not really marketed towards them… 🤔
