That time of the month. A visit from Aunt Flo. Lady Business. Riding the cotton pony. And, of course...shark week. The menstrual cycle has many names. And even more stories. Stories that never get told. Stories that never get heard. Stories that never get healed.Because the code of silence around the "monthly visitor" is a global phenomenon. This is the most natural of all human experiences, affecting every woman on every continent, from every culture, and every walk of life.And yet, we're told not to talk about it. Not to think about it. And to not even acknowledge its existence.That all ends in this book.In this soliloquy of personal tales, five writers from around the world tell their firsthand stories of the pain, laughter and intense living that accompanies that time of the month.Breaking the stigma and silence once and for all.
