This text focuses on menarche, the first menstrual period, as a
central aspect of body politics in US society. Using narratives of
104 diverse women, the authors address the central question of how
menarche as a bodily event takes on a cultural significance in a
society that devalues women and explores how women have both
provided support for and resisted gendered social relations of
power through their negotiation of this crucial life transition.
Examining issues of contamination and concealment, and the
sexualization that occurs at menarche, the authors emphasize how
the politics of gender are negotiated on and through women's
bodies.
