Period. It's About Bloody Time by Emma Barnett

4.0

I've been wanting to read more accesible and entertaining non-fiction, and this was a great one to start with for the year! Emma makes her discussion about periods funny and relatable, but simultaneously very timely and interesting. Since stopping hormonal contraceptives, making the change to a menstrual cup, and tracking my cycle using apps, I've started to get more in touch with my body and my period in the last year, and this book was the perfect companion to that journey I've been on. It gave me so much more to think about as well that I hadn't really considered, like the inclusion of stories from trans women, and women who feel like they miss out on the normalcy of periods.

This book was informative without being boring, feminist without being preachy, and overall empowering and encouraging, and definitely one I'll be recommending!
