10 months agoPeriod Fiction: 2 Middle Grade Books About Menstruation and the Politics Beyond It
One of the only books about menstruation that I remember reading as a kid was Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.I expect this is the case for a number of others, Generation X or not.The 1970 Judy Blume book became famous for its frank, unapologetic depiction of preteen girls on the verge or in the midst of puberty.
