Bloody Beautiful Playbook
This book outlines our response to the deeply problematic dominant narratives about menstruation and menopause. It offers details of our approach to steering conversations in a different direction.
Importantly, the book has “playbook” in the title because it suggests fun and lightness – elements we believe are key to creating an accessible social movement. It also suggests that it’s for others to build on - to play with. We want to share and offer our methods and results up for others to build on and remix.

Bloody Beautiful Interviews
In the Spring of 2023 we conducted a series of semi-structured interviews to understand how different demographics, including people who don’t menstruate, experience menstruation and menopause.
With this zine series, we present extracts from these interviews. Sorted thematically, these extracts offer insight into the ongoing research that forms such a fundamental part of Bloody Beautiful.
