Period. It's About Bloody Time by Emma Barnett
4.0
I've noticed more books recently aimed at teens and adults, trying to demystify and degross the topic of periods. This is an excellent one. Chatty, funny and very very honest, it's a wonderful starting off point for conversations that are increasingly important for people to have.
The only thing I didn't like was the author's continual insistence that all women prefer tampons over pads. I know plenty who prefer pads. Maybe I was reading it wrong, but I saw it in several places and I found it surprising in a book that otherwise champions the fact that women are different and they feel and experience things differently.
This is a great read for everyone, male and female, to read. Let's help make sure the next generation doesn't suffer the shame we have.
