PERIOD

A no-nonsense, no-holds-barred, unembarrassed - and sometimes funny! - look at the subject of menstruation. This book looks at the body and how it changes as it goes through the menstrual cycle; talks about tampons and pads, and the alternatives to these products; discusses on which foods to eat - and avoid - to help any negative symptoms that might occur; examines the medicine that can be taken if the symptoms feel severe.

A story told in graphic novel format presented with illustrated information. After the success of the film Turning Red, this is the book that's needed right now.

Ruth Redford is a freelance editor and author based in the United Kingdom. She loves writing and researching non-fiction projects and hopes that this book will help everyone to talk more about periods and feel comfortable with them.
