Greetings Period Fans!

You all remember the little art contest we held for Chris Bobel’s upcoming book “New Blood: Third Wave Feminism and the Politics of Menstruation” Buzz is building for the book, due out in spring of 2010 and we cant wait to get our little mittens on a copy. Check out this interview with the author on Our Bodies, Our Blog to see what the book covers.

And, as if one book dedicated to our favourite topic wasn’t enough to get us excited, we’ve just discovered the impending release of another period-centric book; “FLOW: A Cultural Story of Menstruation.” According to the books website; “Flow tells you where it’s at about menstruation: what it is, what we’ve been told and how we’ve been sold, and what we should definitely know. It’s the most natural of cycles with the most unnatural of histories. It’s a funny, fascinating, and occasionally scary story of big business, advertising, feminism, gender roles, medicine, religion, world culture, and above all, good manners … in which every single female, young or old, will recognize her story.”

Sounds pretty good right? The new book by Elissa Stein and Susan Kim will hit stores November 10th and is available for pre-order on Amazon.com now. Order now and it might just arrive in time for your next period, perfect reading for those Heavy Pad days. It definitely looks like a fun read with loads of menstrual trivia and facty-bits. For Instance:

Check back here in the coming weeks for our review of FLOW. We might just have a free copy for one of our lucky readers too.
