This book is really difficult for me to review, and in fact, I haven’t been able to sit down and write anything for it until a couple weeks after I finished because, while I knew what my thoughts were, it’s hard to adequately explain them. Because this book has some really excellent aspects, but it also has some really bad ones.I’ll talk about the good things first.Overall, PERIOD POWER has really good information and it’s a good, factual account of what menstruation can be like, the multitude of different hygiene products, the history of menstrual products and the way it’s depicted in society, and general intersectionality. The book and author acknowledge privilege. They recognize and reiterate that menstrual products should be readily accessible for all, and the book talks about how menstruation is different between races biologically, culturally, and socially. Also, a very large part of the book focuses on the difficulties of acquiring hygiene products when you’re homeless, living in poverty, and/or serving time in prison. Okamoto covers a lot of different intersections and areas that often go unacknowledged when it comes to period talk, which was wonderful on a larger scale.But she and this book don’t manage to hit one of the target marginalizations that they hint at with the blurb: trans and/or nonbinary people. Which is where my bigger issues started to come in.The blurb uses the phrase “people who menstruate,†which initially made me excited, because so often when talking about menstruation, people only talk of it as something women experience, when in fact, not all women menstruate, some men do, and so do some nonbinary people. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really pan out very well within the book. Okamoto and the text mention women (of course) and nonbinary people (yay!), but trans men are basically never mentioned, and even the mentions of enbies are few and far between. They say that it’s important to be inclusive, and as I mentioned, the book does a great job of inclusivity…in all areas but gender. For a majority of the book–I’d honestly say about 95%–menstruators are referred to as women, which is harmful, upsetting, and downright ridiculous when Okamoto is clearly aware of the complexity of gender. There’s a single, small section in the last 25% of the book, written by a trans person, which was nice to read. But right after that miniscule section, there’s a whole paragraph where Okamoto goes off about using inclusive language…and then goes right back to saying “women†a paragraph or two later. There was an obvious attempt by the author, but it just failed in such an epic way as to be even more hurtful than if she’d just excluded trans and/or nonbinary people altogether.Other issues I had with the book include:- The book briefly mentions PMDD (PreMenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) as something that some menstruators experience, but doesn’t explain it at all. And certainly not as thoroughly as PMS (PreMenstrual Syndrome/Symptoms) is detailed.- Endometriosis is explained, but PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) isn’t even mentioned as something some menstruators have to deal with.- There was some weird, random comment that made it seem like it was “anti-feminist†for people (read: women) to want to get married, have kids, and be happy with that.Overall, the book was pretty good and I really did like that there was so much information, but the problems I had were significant enough to lower my rating and appreciation for it.
I read this striking book in one sitting in the back of my family minivan on the way from the SF Bay Area to Tahoe. In it, Nadya blends together her personal testimony and in-depth historical and scientific research in a conversational, yet informative, debut novel. She illustrates why the Menstrual Movement matters and shares a range of ways to get involved with it, from simply discussing periods in everyday conversation to chip away at taboos, to launching your own PERIOD chapter, to finding your own cause to start a movement around. This book details the place that periods hold in intersectional activism between socioeconomic, racial, and gendered lines - and in legislation, taxation, and criminal justice reform, and social entrepreneurship. Full disclaimer: I'm involved at a PERIOD chapter at my campus, so yes, there is some bias here, haha, because I already believe in the importance of destigmatizing, celebrating, and improving access to menstrual hygiene. This book definitely reaffirmed my joy in being part of this movement! But also, having been able to work with Nadya, I can say, beyond the testament of work ethic, passion, and self awareness that she demonstrates in this book -- she is all the more in real life :) One of the things I appreciate most about Nadya, that she writes about in this book, is that despite growing up a social media native in the generation of pretty "Instagrammable" pictures and witty captions, Nadya is more than willing to share her challenges, struggles, mistakes, and most of all, how she learns from all these things. This is only the beginning!
Everyone needs to read this book. As a birth and postpartum doula, I find that many first time parents often don't understand how their own bodies work. We don't learn this extensively in school. I am 27 and some of this information is new to me too. We need to prepare the younger generations and destigmatize the taboo that is the menstrual cycle.
I pre-ordered this on a whim after hearing Ingrid Nilsen mention it and wow am I glad I did. I think this is a must read for everyone. And I do mean everyone. I learned so much and my eyes were opened to a lot of things I never knew about my body and to the experiences of others. It is not a challenging read and it is very engaging. It left me feeling empowered and motivated, and I can't wait to read it again to really soak in all the information. I might end up buying it again and gifting it to everyone I know because the more the knowledge is spread, the better off we all are. 10/10 would recommend.
After sitting down and truly dissecting this book, I became even more proud to be a part of the menstrual movement. I will admit I was not only naive to the struggles homeless menstruators face, but to the menstrual cycle in general. As a second year college student, it was both empowering to have this knowledge at my fingertips, but frustrating to not have known half of the information in this book, despite countless health classes in middle & high school. Period Power is a must read for everyone, regardless of gender, race, or class. Not only is it educational, but it's eye opening in a way you wouldn't expect. PLUS, Nadya's anecdotes make this novel something anyone can learn from, and possibly even relate to- including non menstruators. My copy is full of questions, statements, and exclamation points... once you open your copy, I'm sure yours will look the same!
I loved this book! Not only does the book shine light on the founder Nadya Okamoto’s inspiration, but it also smashes the stigma surrounding menstruation. Right now is the time for everyone to feel comfortable in their own skin and not be ashamed of doing so. After having the chance to meet and intern for Period, the Menstrual Movement, I could not be more proud of Nadya Okamoto!!
