Period: Twelve Voices Tell the Bloody Truth by Kate Farrell

5.0

What an incredible book. I wish I had had something so informative and reassuring and empowering when I first got my period 10 years ago, but thankfully this exists now. We live with such degrading stigmas about the female body and especially about our menstrual cycles, it was refreshing to read something that said, "HEY! This is normal! No reason to be weird about." I wish I could give this to 12 year old me and tell her there's no reason to be anxious or embarrassed. Our bodies are pretty amazing.
