Boldly illustrated by Mary Purdie, Red Moon Gang tackles every aspect of the menstrual cyclefrom the biology and science behind why you bleed every month, to the latest findings on hormonal fluctuations (aka, why youre PMSing so bad). It takes a deep dive into the different types of menstrual products available, including their pros and cons, and covers various period conditions such as endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome. Drawing from her own experience, Costello explores how having a period shaped her relationship to her body and her place in the world. And she discusses topics that arent generally covered in health class toosuch as how periods are a particular challenge to those experiencing body dysmorphia, individuals living in poverty, and disabled people. Finally, she offers up a Period Toolkit, listing products and retailers she loves, tips on how to make menstruating easier, and resources for further education.
