The Red Zone by Chloe Caldwell

5.0

This book of essays chronicles one woman's experience with premenstrual dysphoric disorder, from the first troubling signs, through all the classic cycles of grief, and on into healing which is, like grief & for all whose lives are thrown upside down by chronic conditions, cyclical and unending. This was such a brilliant read and I think everyone with a uterus should go out and buy a copy. Reading it during all this scotus bullshit was actually uplifting, to read a woman so openly owning her own rage and experience with something that is thought of, STILL, as taboo to talk about. I loved Caldwell's book Women & loved this as well, so it's probably time to purchase her other two books, cause I can bet I'm going to love them.
