Menstruation is not a disease, not a shame, not a taboo. It is a natural process that is worth talking about openly. "The Cross" is an honest and ironic book about menstruation, its history, stereotypes and cultural taboos.

📌 What's inside?

  • Menstrual myths and taboos in different cultures
  • Punitive Soviet gynecology and its consequences
  • Menstrual poverty: cotton wool, rags and access to hygiene
  • Women's restrooms and menstrual hygiene
  • Euphemisms: "guests in a red car", "red days on the calendar" and others

📖 Why is this important?
How many books have you read about menstruation? Probably not many. The topic is still surrounded by silence, censorship, and a thick layer of red shame.

💬 "The Cross" is the truth about the most intimate experience that unites generations of women with an invisible red thread. It's time to speak about it out loud.
