I read back in the memories and someone brought this up like...4 years ago.

But i figured i'd try again and hopefully spark lots of menstrual happiness.

Has anyone ever read The Red Tent? (written by Anita Diamant)

Its an amazing book, and it honestly makes you have so much menstrual pride that its awesome.

Its based off the bible (but not a hardcore religious kinda thing, my religion doesnt even acknowledge the existance of the old testament). It follows Jacob's wives and one of his daughters. Its my absolute favorite book. And of course, you can imagine that the RED TENT itself is the menstrual tent. sorta like a MENSTRUAL HUT?! awesome.

i recomend that if you havent already read it, it is most definitely a must for the average period-lovin'-lady.

just my random post to take away from the mundane "im having a period problem", to remind us that no matter how many problems we have, we still love it.

i found the book informative & inspiring... i conjure up a visualization pretty red tent of womby security to comfort me when my hormones make me feel psycho, & owe the image to the book.. also, amusingly, my husband refers to that time as being 'in the red tent,' so i must have gushed to him when i read it. it was a beautiful story.

haha yea.
my boyfriend still makes fun of me that i cried through the whole book because having a period is so beautiful.

definitely an awesome story.

i really want a red tent...really bad. with the hay and everything.

ouch

I have read that one in about 8th grade. I really enjoyed it a lot. I would definitely reccomend it to anyone.
