This fresh, original anthology, aimed at older readers, not only shoots straight about the perils and pleasures of monthly bleeding but downright glories in it. Contributors include editor Fraustino, David Lubar, Han Nolan, and Linda Oatman High. The experiences range across age, time, and culture, evoking fear, wonder, loneliness, and the bonds of sisterhood, and depicting traditions both formal and casual.
