READ: About Bloody Time: The Menstrual Revolution We Have To Have
Written by feminist author Karen Pickering and Australia’s most renowned menstrual educator Jane Bennett, About Bloody Time is an investigative book that’s the culmination of six years of research and analysis on menstrual health, including an international survey of almost 3,500 women, making it an extraordinarily comprehensive study.
About Bloody Time explores women’s experiences of menstruation from puberty to menopause and examines the menstrual taboo from all angles. Among its many findings, the research underpinning the book revealed that over half of the women surveyed (55%; and ranging in age from 12 to 46+) did not feel prepared for their first period. The fact that girls currently in their teens feel as unprepared now as women who had their first period decades ago, indicates that while other subjects such as sex and pornography are increasingly discussed, menstruation remains a mysterious and off-limits topic.
About Bloody Time is available in print and as an e-book online at www.vwt.org.au/shop, and in bookstores nationally.
