Chris Bobel, Associate Professor of Women and Gender studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston and fellow in the CSSD working group Menstrual Health and Gender Justice, recently spoke with NPR about her new book, The Managed Body, as well as common myths surrounding menstruation.
In the article she discusses the stigma and negativity related to periods in low and middle income countries as well as how well-meaning activists are misguided by misconceptions about menstrual health.
