Download or read book Seeing Red written by Kirsten Karchmer and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A world-renowned women’s health expert reveals a bold, practical, and data-driven handbook for menstrual periods that provides an easy-to-navigate roadmap for improving your reproductive health—and your everyday quality of life. We’ve been lied to about periods. PMS, cramping, bloating, migraines, irritability, and anxiety may be extremely common, but contrary to popular belief, they aren’t normal. And they certainly aren’t “just part of being a woman,” despite the fact that this is what we’ve been told time and time again—by friends, family, and even doctors. After dedicating her entire clinical career to deconstructing the menstrual cycle, women’s health expert Kirsten Karchmer knows better. During her more than twenty years of research and treating thousands of patients, Karchmer found that most period problems women experience—even the most painful ones—are totally correctable and more surprisingly reflective of overall health and fertility. In this forthright, spirited, and all-encompassing guide, Karchmer draws on her decades’ worth of experience as a women’s health expert to break down the myths so many women have been led to believe about their periods. For the more than 82 million women in the world who suffer from menstrual conditions, Seeing Red explains the importance of a healthy menstrual cycle (and how to achieve it) and why it is important to the women’s movement. Menstrual cycles are not a curse, but an instrument providing women with one of the most valuable, regularly occurring, and free diagnostic tools they have, giving them access to unprecedented health and power.

Download or read book Flow written by Elissa Stein and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2009-11-05 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A normally taboo topic claims attention with the surprising—and sometimes horrifying—history of cultural reactions to menstruation.” —Publishers Weekly 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. “Its contents, I found, are plainspoken—perhaps it will start chipping away at the taboo . . . the style is important and groundbreaking.” —The New Yorker “In many ways, Flow is a breakthrough.” —Daily Beast “Flow isn’t just a book; it’s a movement.” —January Magazine “A witty look at the history of ‘the nuisance’ . . . for women of all ages. Who hasn’t wondered why we get a period, what women did before the invention of the tampon—let alone the pad. Flow explains all.” —Body and Soul Magazine

Download or read book Menstruation and Procreation in Early Modern France written by Dr Cathy McClive and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early modern bodies, particularly menstruating and pregnant bodies, were not stable signifiers. Menstruation and Procreation in Early Modern France presents the first full-length discussion of menstruation and its uncertain connections with embodied sex, gender and reproduction in early modern France. Attitudes to menstruation are explored in three inter-linked arenas: medicine, moral theology and law across the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Drawing on a wide range of diverse sources, including court records and private documents, the author uses case studies to explore the relationship between the exceptional corporeality of individuals and attempts to construct menstrual norms, reflecting on how early modern individuals, lay or otherwise, grappled with the enigma of menstruation. She analyzes how early modern men and women accounted for the function, recurrence and appearance of menstruation, from its role in maintaining health to the link between other physiological and bodily processes, including those found in both male and female bodies. She questions the assumption that menstruation was exclusively associated with women by the second half of the eighteenth century, arguing that whilst sex-related, menstruation was not sex-specific even at the turn of the nineteenth. Menstruation remains a contentious topic today. This book is not, therefore, simply a study of periods in early modern France, but is also of necessity an exploration about the nature and constitution of historical evidence, particularly bodily evidence and how historians use this evidence. It raises important questions about the concept of certainty and about the value of observation, testimony, expertise, the nature of language and the construction of bodily truths - about the body as witness and the body as evidence.

Book excerpt: 'This will start a revolution for women.' CONSTANCE HALL As young girls, most of us were given the talk about how to manage our periods. It's the beginning of a tedious bloody grind, one of the last great taboos. But the truth is, the menstrual cycle has benefits - big, fantastic, daily, monthly, even lifelong, benefits. Every month, you have four hormonal phases that keep coming around. Each phase bears its own gifts and ways of making us feel: a time to dream, a time to do, a time to give and a time to take. Once you know what these phases are, you can predict them, plan for them and use them over and over again. In fact, harnessing your period superpowers will make you unstoppable (until you choose to stop, that is). Period Queen takes the worst thing about being a woman and turns it into the best thing. Author and period preacher Lucy Peach urges us to stop treating periods like nature's consolation prize for being a woman, banishing the notion that hormones reduce us to being random emotional rollercoasters. Become an expert in recognising what you need at different times of the month and learn how every cycle gives you a chance to cultivate the most important relationship of your life: the one with your precious self. It's pretty bloody amazing.

This book was released on 2020-04-09 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ruby Luna starts her period at 10 years old and keeps a diary for the next two years all about the menstrual products she tries and the things that happen to her and her friends. It is aimed at 10-12 year olds, but would be suitable for any girl starting her period earlier than that. It also covers the transition from primary to secondary school. It is written with humour to keep the topic light and entertaining, but includes lots of information from the impact of diet on periods to when girls historically started menarche (first period) in an accessible way. (/br) (/br)Ruby Luna's Moontime is a follow-on book from Ruby Luna's Curious Journey for 5-9 year olds on female anatomy, but it can be read independently. "It's great! I think it will really appeal to teens too! I think it covers a lot of things that girls want to know about. This diary is funny, packed full of useful information and will help girls feel confident about periods and body changes. Great job!" Anna (13) "I had fun reading this book with my mum. There was great practical advice on periods, and I enjoyed reading a story that reflected my own experience of starting my period and transitioning from primary to secondary school." Rosie Davis (12) "My daughter found the prospect of reading a book about puberty and periods less than inspiring but she has always loved being read to so Tessa's book was just the ticket. At 12 having started her period at 10 she felt super knowledgable when we began to read together. We enjoyed chatting about the story and how it related to her own experience of ending primary and entering secondary school. We also chatted about all the period related issues brought up so cleverly in the book. If you are looking for a novel to share with your pre-teen that is fun, informative and that will bring you closer to your daughter look no further. Although my daughter is 12 we both felt that this would still be a great book for a 9-10 year old, especially if she is an early bloomer. This is a much-needed book - fiction is the best way to teach pre-teen girls about the changes taking place in their bodies and the practical issued that can impact them. Well done Tessa on writing this much needed book." Julie Davis (mum) "In my capacity of talking to secondary school children about puberty, there is a vast difference in what kids know or believe, so a resource like this will help put the record straight in an enjoyable and educational way." Sharon Sneddon, Lecturer in Reproductive Medicine "I like the way the diary pointed out that most teachers are approachable and supportive in regard to children who have started their periods, regardless of how young they may be when this happens, and raised common issues such as going swimming at school and when the children are taught about periods at primary school." Mrs Mirbel, Deputy Head of Micklands Primary About the Author TESSA VENUTI SANDERSON teaches menstrual cycle awareness to girls and women and facilitates Celebration Day for Girls gatherings where menarche (first period) is seen as a rite of passage and an opportunity to enhance body image and self-esteem. She has a PhD in Medical Sociology and is also a women's yoga teacher. Learn more at www.cyclicalwisdom.com and www.tessayoga.co.uk.
