This book draws on literary, cultural, and critical examples
forming a menstrual imaginary-a body of work by women writers and
poets that builds up a concept of women's creativity in an effort
to overturn menstrual prejudice. The text addresses key arbiters of
the menstrual imaginary in a series of letters, including Sylvia
Plath the initiator of 'the blood jet', Helene Cixous the pioneer
of a conceptual red ink and the volcanic unconscious, and Luce
Irigaray the inaugurator of women's artistic process relative to a
vital flow of desire based in sexual difference. The text also
undertakes provocative against-the-grain re-readings of the Medusa,
the Sphinx, Little Red Riding Hood, and The Red Shoes, as a means
of affirmatively and poetically re-imagining a woman's flow.
Natalie Rose Dyer argues for re-envisioning menstrual bleeding and
creativity in reaction and resistance to ongoing and problematic
societal views of menstruation.
