A lead title for Fall 2017. ONLY BOOK OF ITS KIND: There has never
been a book on menstrual equity or a book examining the history of
societal attitudes toward menstruation, the product innovation, or
policy change activism behind period feminism. And certainly never
a book on periods that's come at such a pivotal moment in the
conversation. IDEAL AUTHOR: Jennifer Weiss-Wolf is a leading voice
for equitable menstrual policy in America. Newsweek deemed her the
"architect of the U.S. policy campaign to squash the tampon tax."
In partnership with Cosmopolitan, Jen spearheaded the first U.S.
"No Tax on Tampons" Change.org petition, which now has more than
58,000 signatures. Jennifer's work has appeared in the New York
Times, TIME, Bloomberg News, New York Daily News, Cosmopolitan, The
Nation, Newsweek, Medium, and Ms. magazine, among others. She has
spoken on the subject of menstrual equity to the Planned Parenthood
Federation, New York University, Columbia Law School, and more.
GROWING PLATFORM: Jen's platform continues to grow: In early 2017
she was featured as an expert on menstrual equity on both Dr. Oz
and in Lena Dunham's influential newsletter, Lenny Letter, which
reaches more than 400,000 subscribers. She's also been tapped as a
contributor for THERE WILL BE BLOOD (Macmillian, 2018), an
anthology on menstruation issues with leading names like THINX
CEO/founder Miki Agrawal; comedian Margaret Cho; Broad City's Ilana
Glazer and Abbi Jacobson; and Youtuber and menstrual activist
Ingrid Nilsen. HIGH-PROFILE CONNECTIONS: Jen has secured a blurb
from feminist legend Gloria Steinem and will ask for her help to
promote the book. She also works regularly with Nicholas Kristof of
the New York Times. She is close to and can rely on support from
Cosmopolitan Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles and Planned Parenthood
Federation of America President Cecile Richards and will request
promotional help from both. A number of marketing and PR firms have
offered their services to Jennifer and the cause of menstrual
equity pro bono. These alliances can be revisited closer to
on-sale.
