The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Menstruation Studies

A free handbook that collects the work of more than 130 authors to provide a “comprehensive and carefully curated view of the state of the field of Critical Menstruation Studies, while also pointing toward new directions in research and advocacy.”

At its core, the Handbook is animated by two intertwined central questions: What new lines of inquiry, including research questions and social justice engagements, are possible when we center our attention on menstrual health and politics across the lifespan? And what knowledge is gained when menstruation emerges as a dynamic category of analysis? The answers to these questions take shape in this collection of empirical research and theoretical essays that are supplemented with first-person narratives; practice notes from those working in the field; poetry, and visual art.
