Description
Menstruation is a universal experience, yet it remains largely misunderstood. Kate Clancy challenges the myths and false assumptions that have defined the study of the uterus, offering a revelatory new perspective on one of the most captivating biological processes in the human body.
Clancy's work draws on her own pioneering research, as well as engaging stories from the lives of women and individuals who have been impacted by menstruation. She explores the intersection of science, culture, and history, shedding light on the ways in which societal attitudes towards menstruation have evolved over time.
By examining the complex and often contradictory ways in which menstruation has been perceived and understood, Clancy sheds new light on the ways in which our understanding of the body and its functions can be shaped by cultural and social factors.
