Sweet Secrets
Stories of Menstruation
by Kathleen O'Grady and Paula Wansbrough

Short stories and factual information about menstruation.
"Sweet Secrets is an approachable, invigorating resource for young women and an ideal health information tool. I particularly love how the authors integrate ecological concerns throughout the book. How unique to hear young women's stories too!"
Debbie Honickman, MD
"If you have female children this book is for you and for them."
Sue Johanson, RN
Sex Therapist, Television and Radio Host

The ideal resource for:
  · adolescent girls anticipating their first period
  · all young women who want to learn more about the changes
    that a woman's body goes through during this time in her life

"What's going on with my body?" "What does menstruation feel like?" "How will my friends react?" Unlike the standard "just-the-facts" approach, this book of short stories and factual information provides the reader with her very own confidantes, others who share a common experience.

Sweet Secrets dispels myths with current, up-to-date health information about menstruation. A unique and reassuring collection, it empowers young women to celebrate this rite of passage with informed confidence.

About the Authors   Kathleen O'Grady has written extensively in magazines and newspapers on menstruation. She is also Director of Communications for the Canadian Women's Health Network. Paula Wansbrough is a co-ordinator of a community project in Toronto for young adults involving computers and education.
