The relationship between the menstrual cycle and women's cognitive and emotional state has fascinated scientists for over a century.

Anne Walker shows that women are neither the victims of raging hormonal fluctuations, nor entirely unaffected by them. Unlike most previous publications that focus on menstruation (rather than the whole cycle), the Menstrual Cycle presents a well-researched study of the entire menstrual cycle and its relationship to women's lives.

Anne Walker critically examines previous work on menstruation, the cycle, and women's psychological state, and sets it in its historical and socio-cultural context. She concludes that menstrual cycle research is entering a new phase of development, with a shift towards a growing concern with women's experiences and the meaning of menstruation in the social sciences, reflecting a change in the way that psychology and sociology conceptualize the body.

Industry Reviews

This is a good read for anyone interested in the menstrual cycle ... In addition this is a must for anyone doing menstrual cycle research. It's great for study ideas and you could probably get the references for most studies that you would need to read ... It is also a great advertisement for (and introduction to) feminist methodology. -
