From Hysteria To Hormonal: Giving Power To the Period Ft. Melissa Berton, Producer of the Oscar- Winning Documentary Short, Period. End of Sentence
In this episode, Melissa and I talk about where the origins of the word "hysterical" comes from, and its modern translation- which is calling women "hormonal". As we travel back through the pages of history with tales from the oldest empires in the world to modern civilization, women's reproductive health has been used against us, but not anymore. As we talk about the representation of menstruation in history, film, and social media, one thing remains certain- we must give power to the period.
