Flow: The Cultural Story of Menstruation, by Elissa Stein

4.0

I discovered this book because I was interested in the history behind the whole topic. It ended up being a pretty interesting and enlightening read. They make an excellent point that menstruation shouldn't be conceived as something disgusting and unwholesome, but rather something completely natural that women experience. This is something that I've believed for years. The book gave me a feeling of feminism and I think honestly if and when I have a daughter and she reaches puberty, I would encourage her to read this.
The tone is very personable and friendly, sort of like Seventeen Magazine or something. I thought it was cute.
