HQ Period. It's About Bloody Time by Emma Barnett - Hardback - Frank, Funny Menstruation Memoir - BBC Woman's Hour Presenter - UK Edition

Period. It's About Bloody Time is a frank, funny, and fearless exploration of menstruation by Emma Barnett. Drawing on her own experiences and those of women around the world, this hardback book tackles the shame, silence, and stigma surrounding periods in the 21st century. Written by the award-winning former BBC Woman's Hour presenter, it's a book for every woman - and man - who has ever wondered why something so natural remains so taboo. Emma Barnett loathes her period, but she loathes the silence around it even more. In this candid and often hilarious book, she asks why women have spent millennia bleeding in secret, whispering euphemisms like 'Auntie Flo' rather than simply saying the word 'period' out loud. The book draws together her own frank confessions with the stories of women from diverse backgrounds, offering a unique perspective on a topic that's often shrouded in mystery. Published by HQ, an imprint of HarperCollins, this book is a rallying cry for change and a must-read for anyone interested in women's health and social commentary.
