Using oral and written narratives of 104 diverse women, the authors address the central question of how menarche as a bodily event signifying womanhood takes on cultural significance in a society that devalues women. Exploring issues of contamination and concealment and the sexualization of women's bodies that occurs at menarche, the authors emphasize how the politics of gender are negotiated on\/through women's bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Lee,Jennifer Sasser-Coen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415915465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415915465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Janet Lee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064973406463,"sku":"9780415915465","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc576aef-bf0d-475e-8568-c1d2ee47a82d.jpg?v=1768672287","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blood-stories-janet-lee-9780415915465","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
