Bleeding and Being: Author Reading + Writing Workshop

Our Red Book

Hear stories from folks of various identities who menstruate, don’t menstruate, have experienced menopause, or bleed in other ways.

Join Rachel Kauder Nalebuff, Somah Haaland, Nina Kauder, and Sofiya Moore for a reading from Our Red Book: Intimate Histories of Periods, Growing, and Changing—a new anthology on menstruation equity and bodily autonomy. A limited number of free copies of Our Red Book will be available to take home.

Following the reading, there will be a writing workshop that will guide participants in crafting their own period story. Writing and art supplies will be provided. 

All ages, identities, and experiences are warmly welcomed to this inclusive event, sponsored by the Mt. Pleasant Library Friends.
