In this entertaining and provocative essay, French journalist and feminist Élise Thiébaut explores the political and personal history of menstruation. The book dismantles the taboos and superstitions that have surrounded the female cycle for centuries, from ancient myths to the subversive representations of contemporary art. Through a cultural, social, and scientific journey, the author invites readers to reclaim their bodies and speak openly about their periods as an act of empowerment in the struggle for public space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis Is My Blood\u003c\/em\u003e approaches menstruation from a dual perspective: personal and political. The work analyzes how different cultures have constructed imaginaries around menstrual blood, linking it to taboo, impurity, and superstition. At the same time, it examines how contemporary feminist art has subverted these representations to turn the period into a symbol of protest. The book also reflects on the social control of the female body, the medicalization of the cycle, and current struggles for equality, offering a critical and lighthearted look at a biological process that affects half the population.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCultural and social history of menstruation and its taboos.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFeminism and the reclamation of the female body.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRepresentations of menstrual blood in contemporary art.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between menstruation, health, and medicalization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMenstrual activism and the fight for visibility in the public sphere.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in feminism, gender studies, and women's history.
