Description
A groundbreaking study of menstruation, exploring its facts, fantasies and taboos. This book has helped bring about a shift in attitudes towards a natural phenomenon that has been reviled over the centuries. Thoroughly researched yet highly readable, it combines psychology, anthropology and poetry to illustrate its theories. The authors examine menstruation through examples ranging from biblical accounts to modern pop culture references, such as vampire movies and cult films like The Exorcist. By exploring these diverse perspectives, they shed new light on this often-misunderstood topic. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of menstruation, its significance and the ways in which it has been perceived and represented over time.
