Menstrual Mondays: 10/19/09
Hello and welcome to the second installment of Menstrual Mondays, wherein we review this week in menstrual news, blog entries, and art!
The Feminist Women's Health Center (FWHC) put together a comprehensive article on "What Really Happens in Those 28 Days?!" It offers a number of opinions, biological explanations, menstrual traditions from different cultures, and resources.
- Fans of yoga and menstrual euphemisms need look no further! One of the ladies at Skepchick wrote a very amusing and informative article entitled "All You Need to Know About Inverted Yoga. Period." on how inverted yoga's affects menstruation.
- The Society for Menstrual Cycle Research (SMCR) has a great blog called re: Cycling. Fun, informative, and occasionally academic articles abound! Great looking blog.
- Flow: The Cultural History of Menstruation is coming out next month, but in the meantime you can check out their website or youtube page for cute and illuminating videos. The website also has vintage menstrual product and hysteria advertising!
