This collection of remembrances about first periods is funny, distressing, oh-so-familiar, and it seems every other essay cites the classic tome "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." It's also reassuring: The sisterhood is as old as time and it lives forever. For teens already "on the rag," this book can help assuage embarrassment and discomfort. As a read for pre-teens, it's too sophisticated a work for all but the most precocious. This book will get you remembering your first period and how you've lived with your monthly visitor. ( ) Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. This is a collection of first-period stories, written by women of all ages from around the world. They are artists, writers, professionals, doctors, and students. Many of these stories have similar themes, for example:*The author thought she were dying. *The author was excited about becoming a woman. *The author got their period in a public situation and bled through her clothes. *The author didn't know anything about periods until it happened. And so on. And yet, despite these similarities than run through, each story maintains a sense of unique experience particular to that author. The story may be universal, but the experience is deeply personal. As I continued to read through these stories, and even as I saw more of the similarities that tied them together, I became more and more fascinated with these people who all experienced a similar event in their own way. In many ways, I think this is a vital and necessary book, normalizing an experience that is often treated as a secret shame, even today. We need to be more open about these kind of things, to bring them out in the open, to facilitate discussion, and this book does that in a classy and tactful way.

There isn't much to say about this book, as the cover pretty much says it all.This is a great little book that is not meant to be read all at once, but rather in bits and pieces. It would make a wonderful gift for a young woman who is approaching her first period, although older woman can benefit from the tales as well. (I, for example, enjoyed comparing my own experiences to those of the authors, and I was surprised to see that I fared pretty well in comparison!) Many of the stories offer either comfort or humor (and frequently both) to help deal with what is often an awkward time in a young woman's life. The collection is diverse and visually pleasing -- a wonderful little book in all! Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. Props to Nalebuff for getting this book out there. I wish it had been around when I first got my period - which, despite the theme, I will not share here - but it was still a funny and invigorating read. As with any collection some of the entries stand out more than others, and the quality is generally high. Also high quality: the book design. I don't usually notice, perhaps because I usually read crappy quality paperbacks, but the whole thing is really excellent from the typesetting to the paper. If you know a girl the right age, I'd strongly recommend this as a gift. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
My Little Red Book is an anthology of stories about first periods, collected from women of all ages from around the world. The accounts range from lighthearted (the editor got hers while waterskiing in a yellow bathing suit) to heart-stopping (a first period discovered just as one girl was about to be strip-searched by the Nazis). The contributors include well-known women writers (Meg Cabot, Erica Jong, Gloria Steinem, Cecily von Ziegesar), alongside today's teens. Ultimately, My Little Red Book is more than a collection of stories. It is a call for a change in attitude. By revealing what it feels like to undergo this experience firsthand and giving women the chance to explain their feelings in their own words. My Little Red Book aims to provide support, entertainment, and a starting point for discussion for mothers and daughters everywhere. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
