Waterstones Says

Through personal anecdote and the testimony of others, Barnett asks why the issue of periods still embarrasses and appalls and makes a bracing, common sense case for full and frank honesty.

Revised and updated with a new chapter

In this frank, funny rallying cry, Emma Barnett shares her story, as well as those of others, to ask why we've clammed up about menstruation. She'll make you laugh, weep, and maybe squirm, about the natural process that nobody talks about, and smash this taboo once and for all.

Because it's about bloody time.

Period.

Period.’ Jennifer Saunders ‘I want to hear what Emma Barnett says about everything, and this terrific and timely book proves to be no exception.’ Elizabeth Day ‘A brilliant, myth-busting, funny and poignant book.’ Helen Pankhurst ‘Why has it taken so long for this powerful, fearless book to be written?’ Emma Freud ‘Uniquely funny and forthright.’ Pandora Sykes ‘Passionate, informed and thought-provoking.’ Jane Garvey ‘A must read for everyone. Period.’ Kirsty Wark ‘Clever, useful and wise. Read it. Pass it on to your daughters. And then to your sons.’ Fi Glover ‘Emma cuts right through all the myths and embarrassment with searing facts, honesty and, perhaps more importantly, humour.
