Seeing red: Changing attitudes towards menstruation

Goodbye period shame and secrecy, farewell clunky sanitary products. Menstruation is out and proud in 2021, thanks to women in their 20s and 30s who will no longer hide this most basic of female bodily functions.

In this episode of Good Weekend Talks, we look at a feature story by The Sydney Morning Herald senior writer Jacqueline Maley: Let it Bleed.

Maley is joined on the podcast by Elizabeth Hill, an associate professor in political economy at the University of Sydney, who has studied the intersection of menstruation and labour laws. Moderating the chat is Good Weekend editor Katrina Strickland, who steers the discussion through everything from when and why the period got politicised to the pros and cons of menstrual leave, period poverty in the developing world and the broader global revolution in attitudes towards reproductive health.
