This review is from: The curse: A cultural history of menstruation (Hardcover)
Important work addressing the bloodmysteries that continue to shroud all women. An extremely helpful text for understanding how the role of menstruation and repoductive capability effects social structures and political equality movements. I highly recommend this read.

A great gift on the occasion of menarche!,
This review is from: The Curse : A Cultural History of Menstruation (Paperback)
Since the first edition of this book came out, I have given it over and over to girls in my family or daughters of friends when they get their first period. They always love it. They most especially love the chapter on Menstrual humor. I think it's really neat that a university press publishes such a regular and useful book.
