Reviews

Periods in Pop Culture contributes to the burgeoning critical scholarship-as-prism refracting the dynamic complexities of gendered embodiment. Rosewarne supplies a globetrotting and genre spanning taxonomy of the uneasy presence and telling absence of menstruation. This is a book that clearly reveals how menstruation’s significance lingers far beyond the punch line.
*Christina Bobel, University of Massachusetts Boston*

Periods in Pop Culture is an engaging and thought-provoking read. Are the increasing mentions of menstruation and menopause in films and television shows a good or a bad thing for women? Read this book, and decide for yourself!
*Joan Chrisler, Connecticut College*
