Seemingly overnight, a new, high-profile movement has emerged - one dedicated to bold activism, creative product innovation, and smart policy advocacy - to address the centrality of menstruation in relation to core issues of gender equality and equity. Jennifer Weiss-Wolf explores why periods have become a prominent political cause. From eliminating the tampon tax, to enacting new laws ensuring access to affordable, safe products, menstruation is no longer something to whisper about. Weiss-Wolf shares her firsthand account in the fight for "period equity" and introduces readers to the leaders, pioneers, and everyday people who are making change happen. From societal attitudes of periods throughout history to grassroots activism and product innovation, Weiss-Wolf challenges readers to face stigma head-on and elevate an agenda that recognizes both the power, and the absolute normalcy, of menstruation. Jennifer Weiss-Wolf is on the advisory board of ZanaAfrica Foundation, which provides essential menstrual health education and products to girls in Kenya. She lives in Maplewood, New Jersey"--Provided by publisher.
