Critical Menstruation Studies is clearly already beginning to burst at the seams. The handbook’s size might give the impression that everything has been said about menstruation, but the opposite is true.... The volume functions in this way not only as a culmination of years of work, but also as an invitation for further research. If you are going to publish a handbook, this is how to do it." (Bettina Bildhauer) "Rarely does a volume span so many disciplines, contexts, countries, religions, and forms. The handbook is a celebration of, and a testament to, the creative, interdisciplinary, theoretically grounded approaches that are embraced in critical menstrual studies."
