Menstrual Disorders (The Experience of Illness)

Annette and Graham Scambler examine the medical and sociological issues surrounding menstruation, basing their arguments on women's own experiences and attitudes. They assert that women are often socialized to interpret the menstruum in negative terms.

This point is reinforced by the authors' examination of men's attitudes towards menstruation and how they directly influence women's experiences within the family and at work, an area that, up to now, has been neglected.
