Give this book to every menstruator in the world! Nadya opens with her own story of her first period, because the goal of the book is to dispel all discomfort surrounding menstruation, and she CRUSHES it. She also is intentional about removing gender from menstruation: let’s say people who menstruate, not women. Menstrual products, not “feminine hygiene products.” This is a perfect book for young people who menstruate, and really, also young people who don’t menstruate. Period Power is an accessible book chock full o’ information about the culture, history, and privilege that goes along with this most basic of bodily functions.
