<p><strong><em>raise your hand if you menstruate raise your hand if you ever menstruated raise your hand if you came from the body of a menstruator raise your hand and dance... </em> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> With this invitation Amy Bobeda's A Blood to Purify the World invites all and especially those who menstruate to slide off the proverbial red shoes of folklore and abandon the idea of menstruation as a tiresome experience of exhaustion pain and discomfort. A Blood to Purify the World invites readers to an enchanted world in which menstruation is more than a cycle of days this many spent waiting that many spent moody and cranky this many spent bleeding bloated sore split within with questions: Am I holy? Am I dirty? Am I fertile? Am I defiled? </strong></p><p></p><p></p>
