Flow: The Cultural Story of Menstruation Hardcover - 2009 - 1st Edition

by Stein, Elissa; Kim, Susan


From the publisher

In this hip, hilarious and truly eye-opening cultural history, menstruation is talked about as never before. Flow""spans its fascinating, occasionally wacky and sometimes downright scary story: from "mikvahs" (ritual cleansing baths) to menopause, hysteria to hysterectomies--not to mention the Pill, cramps, the history of underwear, and the movie about puberty they showed you in 5th grade.

Flow answers such questions as: What's the "point" of getting a period? What did women do before pads and tampons? What about new drugs that promise to end periods--a hot idea or not? Sex during your period: gross or a turn-on? And what's "normal," anyway? With color reproductions of (campy) historical ads and early (excruciating) femcare devices, it also provides a fascinating (and mind-boggling) gallery of this complex, personal and uniquely female process.

As irreverent as it is informative, Flow gives an everyday occurrence its true props - and eradicates the stigma placed on it for centuries.
