Period: The Real Story of Menstruation by Kate Clancy

4.0

Really enjoyed this even though at times it was VERY scientific and kind of a slog. Overall I appreciate this and learned quite a bit, plus this is what current nonfiction should sound like in regards to race, sex, and gender! Open forum and with all parties accounted for and discussed not just cis white folk. I appreciate this author and her passion for the science of Periods and menstruation not enough people who actually have a period for 40+ years are in the room discussing and researching but that is changing!

Bottom line don’t be ashamed of your bodies ability to regulate itself and your reproductive system doing the thing! Also as an FYI the “standard” 28 day cycle is a lie. And most women have a varied cycle that changes the 28 day is an average. As in the math made that the rule but it’s really the exception.
