Reviews

'Original yet universal, artistic yet practical, and likely to sell briskly for centuries to come...it is hard to imagine any woman, from the most straitlaced and body-denying to the most uninhibited and body-embracing, who will not read right through it with pure enjoyment, small flashes of recognition and the urge to buy it for every female pre-teen in sight' - NEW YORK TIMES


 


'Many of the stories in this well-intentioned collection about first periods are touching or funny...This earnest book seeks to promote greater openness on menstruation, a topic rarely covered in popular fiction or non-fiction' - LIBRARY JOURNAL
