About this work

Description

Why do women so often feel ashamed of having periods? Sophie Law's research convinced her that the answer lay in men's attitudes to menstruation. This book takes a unique approach to the subject, investigating what men really know and think about menstruation, and how, as lovers, fathers, husbands, doctors or 'experts', they impose their views on women.--Back cover.
