The Menstrual Imaginary in Literature

The Menstrual Imaginary in Literature: Notes on a Wild Fluidity, 1st Edition, conceptualizes a menstrual imaginary that counters menstrual prejudice. The volume draws on literary, cultural, and critical examples to link women's creative potential with resistance to problematic societal views of menstruation.

The text provides an intersectional examination of sexual difference and menstrual activism. It illustrates how the embodied experience of menstruation can challenge patriarchal power structures and dismantle systems that seek to control women's bodies.

Integrating literary writers and theoretical thinkers, the study positions figures such as Julia Kristeva within critical menstruation studies for audiences interested in feminism, embodiment, and menstruation.
