Observing the radical shift in the medical community toward menstrual suppression as a viable option in women’s health, Dr. Rako sees not only a vast information gap for women, but a serious health crisis on the horizon.Drug companies and many health professionals are promoting the idea that it is okay, even preferable, for women to forgo their periods if they are not trying to get pregnant, and

Some women dread the two weeks preceding their menstrual period. They long for the bleeding to start so their premenstrual symptons will end.Treating premenstrual syndrome (PMS), experiencing PMS, and having friends and family who suffer from PMS, have taught the author that these symptoms aren't figments of anyone's imagination.They are real symptoms, and women need real relief. Some women

Hasan, the local imam's son, has the strange ability to smell a menstruating woman among a thousand others. This helps him classify members of the opposite sex with whom he has little contact until the day he has a brief affair with a married woman.This sexual initiation irrevocably transforms him and shakes his entire system of beliefs. Hasan no longer knows what to believe in nor who is he, he

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

Is Menstruation Obsolete? argues that regular monthly bleeding is not the "natural" state of women, and that it actually places them at risk of several medical conditions of varying severity.The authors maintain that while menstruation may be culturally significant, it is not medically meaningful. Moreover, they propose that suppressing menstruation has remarkable health advantages.Because of

Would we view menstruation differently if men were the ones who menstruated? Would, as Gloria Steinem once speculated, menstruation likely become "an enviable, boastworthy event"? Would men "brag about how long and how much"?Would the onset of the menses be celebrated and respected? Incorporating ancient knowledge and modern perspective, Her Blood Is Gold breaks the silence of our cultural taboo
