Parents, please read this book,
By Linda Stuart (Columbia, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Blood Magic: The Anthropology of Menstruation (Paperback)
I first read this book 15 years ago, in the midst of writing a book about women roles in California Indian society. It brought so many things into sharper focus about other ways of seeing the world and our place in it. Everyone should be taught its lessons, that menstuation is not something to be ashamed of but to value, as an opportunity to give life, and to bond with nature and family. Imagine if women everywhere had Moontime retreats, that is, monthly meetings(not just furtive water-cooler chats) about our physical and emotional changes. And imagine having a positive body-image, as a girl, teenager, young adult, mother, daughter, and grandmother, not just able to cope, but ready to lead? Break the taboo, read it, talk about it; I dare you!
