Examining cultures as diverse as long-house dwellers in North Borneo, African farmers, Welsh housewives, and postindustrial American staff, this volume dramatically redefines the anthropological take a look at of menstrual customs.

Contributing necessary new subject matter and perspectives to our working out of comparative gender politics and symbolism, it’s of particular importance to these fascinated by anthropology, women’s studies, religion, and comparative health systems.
