Listen "Kitab O'klock- That Time Of The Month (It's Only Blood)"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to another episode of Where The Chasm Is Bridged, a podcast by Behind The Scenes.
Today, we feature a book that captures the hard and crude realities of the varying menstrual experiences of women around the world. The atrocities and stigma that they have to face are the stuff of nightmares. Echoing the title of the book, It's Only Blood, written by Anna Dalqvist, it talks about how menstruation is a taboo around the globe, though it is a common, natural occurrence. It highlights the hardships women, especially underprivileged women, have to face in the pretense of 'social acceptance'.
While the book was written by a Swedish Journalist, the facts and ordeals remain the same, emphasizing the most important aspect, that periods, no matter where they occur, will always be just blood.
