Book excerpt: BOOK 2 IN THE IGNITE YOUR INNER GODDESS SERIES A guide all about menstrual cycles—from color and clots to charting like a pro. *** How do you feel about your periods? No, really. This isn’t a trick question! And it’s where we begin the second part of our Ignite Your Inner Goddess journey! Well, actually, we start off talking about things like Aunt Flo, Shark Week, Code Red, Ketchup Week, Moontime, Dragon Week, and Potato Chip. “Wait, did she just say ‘Potato Chip’?” Yes. Yes, I did. And you’ll definitely be clued in on the insider’s secret as to why. ;) In Women, Let’s Talk Periods!, we, well, we talk all thing periods. Shocker, I know, right? “What should my period look like?” “How long should my period be?” “Why am I birthing jelly eggs?!” (Unfortunately, this is not entirely a joke here because this used to happen to me every cycle.) “Ughhhh! I’m spotting again?! I just want to wear those white pants, damn it!” “Hormones suck!” (Actually, they don’t. I promise you, they really, really don't. You totally want these precious babies by your side as a part of your super-she-ro team!) “Follicu-what?” (Follicular. And yup, you’ll learn why this is a word every woman should know. ;) ) Soooo, hop on the Ignite Your Inner Goddess Express and take a journey to a magical land filled with young witches and wizards as they learn at the school of Hog—Oh wait, we don’t live in the world where we get letters by owls, fly with majestic hippogriffs, and suffer through potions classes! Unfortunately. I know, this pales in comparison to that. But, hello! Your body is bleeding and she’s trying to tell you something here. (PS: It’s not because she’s a sadist and deliberately torturing you every month just for kicks!) So, women, let’s get this party started and talk All. Things.

Book excerpt: This open access handbook, the first of its kind, provides a comprehensive and carefully curated multidisciplinary and genre-spanning view of the state of the field of Critical Menstruation Studies, opening up new directions in research and advocacy. It is animated by the central question: ‘“what new lines of inquiry are possible when we center our attention on menstrual health and politics across the life course?” The chapters—diverse in content, form and perspective—establish Critical Menstruation Studies as a potent lens that reveals, complicates and unpacks inequalities across biological, social, cultural and historical dimensions. This handbook is an unmatched resource for researchers, policy makers, practitioners, and activists new to and already familiar with the field as it rapidly develops and expands.

Book excerpt: A world-renowned women’s health expert reveals a bold, practical, and data-driven handbook for menstrual periods that provides an easy-to-navigate roadmap for improving your reproductive health—and your everyday quality of life. We’ve been lied to about periods. PMS, cramping, bloating, migraines, irritability, and anxiety may be extremely common, but contrary to popular belief, they aren’t normal. And they certainly aren’t “just part of being a woman,” despite the fact that this is what we’ve been told time and time again—by friends, family, and even doctors. After dedicating her entire clinical career to deconstructing the menstrual cycle, women’s health expert Kirsten Karchmer knows better. During her more than twenty years of research and treating thousands of patients, Karchmer found that most period problems women experience—even the most painful ones—are totally correctable and more surprisingly reflective of overall health and fertility. In this forthright, spirited, and all-encompassing guide, Karchmer draws on her decades’ worth of experience as a women’s health expert to break down the myths so many women have been led to believe about their periods. For the more than 82 million women in the world who suffer from menstrual conditions, Seeing Red explains the importance of a healthy menstrual cycle (and how to achieve it) and why it is important to the women’s movement. Menstrual cycles are not a curse, but an instrument providing women with one of the most valuable, regularly occurring, and free diagnostic tools they have, giving them access to unprecedented health and power.

Break up with birth control? Is she crazy?” Yeah, I might be a little crazy. But aren’t we all? *Looks around while everyone dutifully avoids eye contact with me* Okay, just play along for a hot minute here for funsies. Have you ever taken hormonal birth control? PS: When I say hormonal birth control, I mean the pill, ring, patch, shot, IUD, etc. Why did you start taking it? When did you start taking it? How long have you been taking it? Yes, these questions all matter! They are also where we begin the next phase in our Ignite Your Inner Goddess journey. Women, Let’s Break Up With Birth Control! is—yup, you guessed it—all about breaking up with hormonal birth control. I know, you totally didn’t see that coming, right? ;) Real talk here. This is not an icky sermon or dry dissertation where I try to convince you to ditch the pill. Not. By. Far. And, PS, I’d never do that. Breaking up hormonal birth control is a very personal choice and wholeheartedly your decision! This part of our Ignite Your Inner Goddess journey is where I share all of the knowledge I wish I had known at the time when I’d decided to ditch the pill. We talk all things from science-based nutrition to the woo-woo (of course!) and dive into what you can do to support your beautiful mind, body, and spirit before, during, and after the epic break up! Well, kicking birth control to the curb was an epic break for me at least… and yes, I totally spill all the deets as to why. ;) Alright.

And whether yours are mildly annoying, utterly debilitating or emotionally complicated, most of us have at one time or another asked: Why?! This warm, light-hearted, real, honest and at times surprising book gives a biblical perspective on menstruation, as well as a whole lot more. Beginning with periods, Rachel Jones takes readers on an adventure in theology, weaving together wide-ranging reflections on the nature of our bodies, the passing of time, the purpose of pain, and the meaning of life. One thing is for sure: you’ve never read a Christian book quite like this one. Whether you’re in need of hope and help, or are just downright curious, you’ll be refreshed and encouraged by this book. As Rachel puts it, “Whoever you are, my aim is that you reach the end of this book celebrating who God has made you, how God has saved you, and the fact that he speaks liberating and positive truth into all of life’s experiences (even periods)”.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the start of the new Australian nation in 1901, to the use of the female contraceptive pill in 1961, Let’s Talk About Sex explores the ways sexuality has been constructed, understood and experienced in Australia. Far from being something hidden and private, this work brings sexuality out into the open, and explains why sex is of social, cultural, political and economic importance. Let’s Talk About Sex is an inclusive history, surveying multiple and interwoven forms of sexuality, desire, pleasure, regulation and resistance. It begins with the long Victorian period: the hidden desires of women and the “hydraulic” sexual needs of men, both in the cities and on the frontier. It moves across the decades, considering heterosexuality, homosexuality, lesbians and nascent ideas about queer and sexual difference. Lisa Featherstone highlights the tensions of the ages: venereal disease, homophobia, birth control, rape and child sexual assault. She analyses the ways non-normative sexuality was constructed as evil and perverse, but also how men and women responded to this pathologising of their desires. Let’s Talk About Sex provides a fascinating account of sex, gender, age and race, across the formative years of Australian society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is always strange to me that most people dont value their health until sickness shows its ugly face. Then they scramble for whatever help they can fi nd to get healthy only to neglect their health again, a kind of a slow unhealthy dance. The truth is, each of us can learn to value and maintain good health for a lifetime at the highest possible level. The aim of this book is to introduce an old but very reliable, effective and valuable set of therapies-alternative medicine, complimentary medicine, holistic medicine and homeopathic medicine. WHAT IS ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE? Alternative medicine has become increasingly popular in todays society. It takes on many forms in a wide variety of guises-from remedies such as herbs, oils, massages and Chinese acupuncture (which many of us have heard of and maybe even tried) to Ayurvedic medicine, which has widely been used in India for over fi ve thousand years. A proven safe and effective therapy, alternative medicine has been known to work time and time again for thousands of people. There is a vast array of different types of treatments available for minor and severe illnesses. Even those suffering from life-threatening illnesses have benefi ted from some type of alternative medicine where conventional treatments have failed.

Book excerpt: Winner, 2010 Emily Toth Award for Best Book in Women’s Studies, Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association The Modern Period examines how and why Americans adopted radically new methods of managing and thinking about menstruation during the twentieth century. In the early twentieth century women typically used homemade cloth "diapers" to absorb menstrual blood, avoided chills during their periods to protect their health, and counted themselves lucky if they knew something about menstruation before menarche. New expectations at school, at play, and in the workplace, however, made these menstrual traditions problematic, and middle-class women quickly sought new information and products that would make their monthly periods less disruptive to everyday life. Lara Freidenfelds traces this cultural shift, showing how Americans reframed their thinking about menstruation. She explains how women and men collaborated with sex educators, menstrual product manufacturers, advertisers, physical education teachers, and doctors to create a modern understanding of menstruation. Excerpts from seventy-five interviews—accounts by turns funny and moving—help readers to identify with the experiences of the ordinary people who engineered these changes. The Modern Period ties historical changes in menstrual practices to a much broader argument about American popular modernity in the twentieth century. Freidenfelds explores what it meant to be modern and middle class and how those ideals were reflected in the menstrual practices and beliefs of the time. This accessible study sheds new light on the history of popular modernity, the rise of the middle class, and the relationship of these phenomena to how Americans have cared for and managed their bodies.

Susan does not understand what is happening to her when she finds blood on her sheets and clothes. She does not tell her mother, but goes straight to school. In the playground, other girls giggle and point at the blood stains. Susan doesn't know why they are laughing at her. A teacher notices what is happening and calls Susan aside to explain what menstruation is, and how she should look after herself. Susan's mother provides further reassurance on her return home from school. She shows Susan how to keep herself clean and comfortable. Susan has become a woman, and her mother takes her shopping to celebrate.

Book excerpt: Menstruation provides one of the few shared bodily functions that most women will experience during their lifetimes. Yet, these experiences are anything but common. In the United States, for the better part of the twentieth century, menstruation went hand-in-glove with menstrual hygiene. But how and why did this occur? This book looks at the social history of menstrual hygiene by examining it as a technology. In doing so, the lens of technology provides a way to think about menstrual artifacts, how the artifacts are used, and how women gained the knowledge and skills to use them. As technological users, women developed great savvy in manipulating belts, pins, and pads, and using tampons to effectively mask their entire menstrual period. This masking is a form of passing, though it is not often thought of in that way. By using a technology of passing, a woman might pass temporarily as a non-bleeder, which could help her perform her work duties and not get fired or maintain social engagements like swimming at a summer party and not be marked as having her period. How women use technologies of passing, and the resulting politics of secrecy, are a part of women's history that has remained under wraps.
