Rot ist doch schön

Why do I blush a little when a tampon falls out of my bag in public? Why do I say I'm sick even though I have menstrual cramps? And why did my gym teacher roll his eyes every time a girl asked to be excused from class? In short: why is the topic of menstruation a taboo? A colorful collection of thoughts and stories surrounding menstruation: everything that sparks wonder or disbelief about the subject. Inspired by conversations and observations, Lucia Zamolo gathers thoughts and facts in a diary-like manner that are often considered taboo. She aims to dispel misconceptions and encourage women and girls to deal with their periods openly and without shame. Her message should replace the feeling of shame: Be proud of your body!.
