I read everything I can find, and afford to buy, about American Indians. I don't recall ever seeing a book about Indian woman and menstruation cycles, but I have found a few paragraphs here and there about the subject. <BR/><BR/>It seems as though this subject is treated as one not for public consumption, so little has been written about the subject. Is this because women are intimidated by men (who have traditionally controlled the gateway to publication) or because women are just intimidated by men (historically), or because women don't think it is a subject "nice" people should discuss (Victorian attitude)? If this is indeed a Victorian attitude, then was the subject openly discussed prior to Queen Victoria's reign? I think not. I sense that there is a ton of cultural taboos here.<BR/><BR/>Susan Vreeland has written a fictionalized account of a real woman of the late 19th Century that contains a few pages about the menstrual hut of a tribe of First Nation people. Her account seems to be reasonable according to historical mentions I have encountered. From what little I know of you, I think you would enjoy the entire book. The book is entitled <I>Forest Lover</I>. A woman artist and teacher in Weiser recommended the book to me based upon my interest in Indian People. The heroine of the book is an very brave woman artist who spent a life time bucking the male dominated society of British Columbia.

I would love to hear more people celebrate all the wonderful things we have been designed to do so well!

Not because they had to for financial reasons, or even emotional reasons (needing respite etc) but because she likes her job. Gah! <BR/><BR/>She likes her job? what more than her baby? What is the point of doing this amazing thing growing and giving birth, if you don't actually want to be with your child? If she can't give up a few years of her 'career' to be there for her child then she shouldn't have had one! Harsh I know.. but man it irks me!<BR/>Ok rant over.. especially since I am preaching to the converted! LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
