The Curse

"In its hard headed, richly documented concreteness, it is worth a thousand polemics."

-- New York Times, from a review of the first edition

"The Curse deserves a place in every women's studies library collection."

-- Sharon Golub, editor of Lifting the curse of Menstruation

"A stimulating and useful book, both for the scholarly and the general reader."

-- Paula A. Treichler, co-author of A Feminist Dictionary
