This is an incredible book, not just for women but for humanity. It's an in depth look at the ties of nature to menstruation, the history of how menstruation has been worshipped, revered, and shamed by society throughout history. There is tons of information of menstrual rituals practiced by cultures throughout history around the world. It also talks about how shame was tied to menstruation and how that is directly tied to patriarchal oppression of women. This is an awesome, fascinating read that I highly recommend.
