Menstruation is still a taboo subject for many young people.
Embarrassed to talk to their mothers or their peers, many girls
have numerous questions or anxieties – and Tricia Kreitman,
Agony Aunt on teenage magazines and her two co-researchers, consultant
paediatricians Dr Fiona Finlay and Dr Rosemary Jones have been
listening for many years to what girls really want to know.
This eminently qualified trio have written a highly readable,
accessible and reassuring guide. This book has received the approval
of the Family Planning Association.
"This is an excellent insider's guide for girls
and young women. It deals with those aspects of growing up
which people are often reluctant to talk about, but which
are so important."
TERRY RYALL, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE GUILD ASSOCIATION
"The strength of this book is that it's based
on what girls have asked and what they actually want to know
about periods…
The result is a book focusing less on biological
detail and more on practical advice…
At the end of each chapter is a problem page…
A useful read for girls between 8 and 14."
