Our Red Book by Rachel Kauder Nalebuff
A collection of interviews, essays and illustrations from people around the world - women, men, non-binary and trans - about first periods, last periods and everything in between.
'Nalebuff interjects frequently with commentary and anecdotes, artfully linking stories together. . Bold and candid, these missives go a long way in breaking through what one contributor calls "the taboo of bleeding"' * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *
A vibrant collection of stories evoking joy, dread, loss, and celebration that will resonate with many -- Rebekah Kati * Library Journal *
Eye-opening, provocative, and emotionally resonant...The factors that shroud menstruation in secrecy, and give rise to shame and embarrassment, are deconstructed, making Our Red Book instructive as a primer for young people. What's more, trans narratives and narratives from non-western writers enhance and expand readers' understanding of the ways periods are treated and experienced. This diversity is part of what makes Our Red Book so important. It goes beyond horror stories to envision a freer, more accepting society * Progressive *
