Fusing together gender and feminist theory, critical body studies, political activism, and menstrual anarchy, Breanne Fahs illuminates the troubling omissions of menstrual coming-of-age narratives in the museum, the outdated terminology of \"feminine hygiene,\" and the moral panics about blood that erupts from in and outside of our bathrooms, classrooms, and cell phones. Borrowing from a multitude of voices--single moms, trans teenagers, zine makers, menstrual artists, college students, tour guides, French philosophers, and culture jammers--Fahs forcefully argues for a new culture of menstruation, one where the joys, rhythms, and controversies of menstrual cycles collides with the defiant, shameless, and bold new possibilities of menstrual resistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Breanne Fahs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438462123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438462127\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Breanne Fahs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46250723639551,"sku":"9781438462127","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3aad459-1049-47f4-b925-8e042102ad6a.jpg?v=1729601204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/out-for-blood-breanne-fahs-9781438462127","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
