Yet most of us see our periods as nothing more than a source of inconvenience, shame, and stigma. The reasons for this are vast and complex and many are rooted in misogyny. The fact is, women around the world are taught the bare minimum about menstruation, and the messages they do receive are negative: that periods are painful and gross, turn us into hormonal messes, and shouldn't be discussed. By examining the history of period shame and stigma and its effects on women's health and wellness today, and providing a crash course in menstrual self-care, Heavy Flow aims to lift the veil on menstruation, change the narrative, and break the "curse" once and for all."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Menstruation $x Social aspects. $9 534837 650 0 $a Women $x Social aspects. $x Social aspects. 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909053142.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=10424418731511EAA9BDA44197128E48 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
