PERIOD.
The Fierce and Funny Manifesto By Broadcaster Emma Barnett
At a time when women around the world are raising their voices in the fight for equality, there is still one taboo where there remains a deafening silence: periods.
The book will be an agenda-setting manifesto to remove the stigma and myths continuing to surround the female body. Bold, unapologetic and a crusade to ignite conversation, PERIOD. is a book for every woman - and man.
Emma Barnett says: 'Pretty much every woman bleeds. Periods are perfectly natural occurrences albeit often bloody painful ones. (See what I did there?) And yet, somehow they remain one of the final societal taboos. But why? What's really driving women's and men's collective horror and squeamishness? Who started the war on periods? And by keeping periods as shameful, secret happenings, what unexamined harm is being done to women and crucially, what jokes are we missing out on? Honourable discharge anyone? I aim for PERIOD. to be a joyful and irreverent rallying cry, filled with untold stories and insights, so that all women and men can locate their period pride. Period. Join the conversation @emmabarnett #periodpride.'
Emma Barnett is an award-winning broadcaster and journalist. It was Emma who left Jeremy Corbyn clutching for his iPad last year when she interviewed him about his key childcare 2017 election pledge in a car crash interview on Woman's Hour. And it was she who personally landed the Prime Minister for her flagship morning show on BBC 5, live post her disastrous election and managed to get Theresa May to admit she shed a little tear when learning the results. She was also named Broadcaster of the Year at the prestigious PSA 2017 awards.
