I’d thought my education regarding the menstrual cycle in school was comparatively quite good, but reading this book provided me with insights that I never knew existed! Maisie Hill approaches the subject of periods with love, care and a refreshing sense of humour, whilst honouring the heavy and personal aspects with the respect they deserve. This book is informative and invigorating, advocating for a change in the lens through which we view menstruation, that is, as a tool we can utilise to understand our bodies, emotions and health, rather than as an inconvenient and negative part of our lives. I recommend this book not only to those of us who menstruate, but to everyone else so that we can be understood and supported by society and in our daily lives.
