More Details

Summary:

When 'Period. End of Sentence' won an Oscar in 2019, the films producer and founder of The Pad Project, Melissa Berton, told the audience: A period should end a sentence, not a girls education. Continuing in that revolutionary spirit and building on the momentum of the acclaimed documentary, this book outlines the challenges facing those who menstruate worldwide and the solutions championed by a new generation of body positive activists, innovators and public figures. From the author of 'The Boston Girl'.
