Menstruation Fact Sheet

This fact sheet, 4 pages of content and 2 pages of must-have references, was collaboratively written by a team of members of the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research in 2011.

It was commissioned and published by Sociologists for Women and Society (SWS) who, since 2002, publish several fact sheets each year on topics ranging from Women & Size to Title IX to Women, Poverty, and Welfare Reform.

These resources are immensely helpful to teachers, activists, clinicians, the interminably curious – anyone, really – who needs concise, accurate information. Please share this link widely!
