Seemingly overnight, a new, high-profile movement has emerged--one dedicated to bold activism, creative product innovation, and smart policy advocacy--to address the centrality of menstruation in relation to core issues of gender equality and equity. In Periods Gone Public, Jennifer Weiss-Wolf--the woman Bustle dubbed one of the nation's "badass menstrual activists"--explores why periods have become a prominent political cause. From eliminating the tampon tax, to enacting new laws ensuring access to affordable, safe products, menstruation is no longer something to whisper about. Weiss-Wolf shares her firsthand account in the fight for "period equity" and introduces readers to the leaders, pioneers, and everyday people who are making change happen. From societal attitudes of periods throughout history--in the United States and around the world--to grassroots activism and product innovation, Weiss-Wolf challenges readers to face stigma head-on and elevate an agenda that recognizes both the power--and the absolute normalcy--of menstruation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Menstruation $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Human body $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Feminism. 650 0 $a Women's rights. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Women's Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Feminism & Feminist Theory. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Gender Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Feminism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922671 650 7 $a Human body $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01730088 650 7 $a Menstruation $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01016291 650 7 $a Women's rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178818 776 08 $i Online version: $a Weiss-Wolf, Jennifer. $t Periods gone public $d New York : Arcade Publishing, 2017 $z 9781628727982 $w (DLC) 2017041183 941 $a 7 952 $l GLAX641 $d 20231201010715.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214024212.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010012436.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20180912010234.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20180426011552.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20180330070354.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20180227013513.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F7934D50D4D211E7967FB26A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
