PERIOD

‘Don’t be revolt lead the revolt – preferably with a grin on your face and a tampon tucked proudly behind your ear.’ Emma loathes her period. Really she does. But there’s something she loathes even more: not being able to talk about it. Freely funnily and honestly. Without men and women wrinkling their noses as if she’s pulled her tampon out and offered it as an hors d'oeuvre. But somehow despite women having had periods since the dawn of time we’ve totally clammed up on anything to do with menstruation. Why Oh why would we rather say ‘Auntie Flo’ than ‘period’? why in the 21st century are periods still seen as icky? Why are we still so ignorant about such a fundamental bodily process? Now in period. Emma draws on female experiences that will make you laugh weep (and most probably squirm) in a fierce and funny rallying cry to smash this ridiculous taboo once and for all. Because it’s about bloody time. Period.
