"THIS WILL START A REVOLUTION FOR WOMEN" Constance Hall

Life Hack your cycle and own your power all month long!
 
Period Queen (out 2 June from Murdoch Books) is the practical and humorous guide that takes the worst thing about being a woman and turns it into the best thing, by 'period preacher', cult folk singer and former sex education teacher, Lucy Peach. 
​
As young girls, most of us were given the talk about how to manage our periods. It's the beginning of a tedious bloody grind, one of the last great taboos. But the truth is, the menstrual cycle has benefits - big, fantastic, daily, monthly, even lifelong, benefits.
​
Every month, you have four hormonal phases that keep coming around. Each phase bears its own gifts and ways of making us feel: a time to dream, a time to do, a time to give and a time to take. Once you know what these phases are, you can predict them, plan for them and use them over and over again. In fact, harnessing your period superpowers will make you unstoppable (until you choose to stop, that is).
​
Period Queen takes the worst thing about being a woman and turns it into the best thing. Lucy Peach urges us to stop treating periods like nature's consolation prize for being a woman, banishing the notion that hormones reduce us to being random emotional rollercoasters.
 
Become an expert in recognising what you need at different times of the month and learn how every cycle gives you a chance to cultivate the most important relationship of your life: the one with your precious self. It's pretty bloody amazing.
 
"Every person who has a period should read this (plus anyone who knows someone who has a period should also read this book)." Louise Rigg, UK
 
"Great book trying to bust the taboo many women find themselves in around their period.
Makes you realise why you feel and/or behave the way you do depending on where you are in your cycle-very helpful and eye opening. Will definitely be referring back to this book for the rest of my menstruating season" Erin Swan
