"Most days, Shalene Gupta was the person she’d always aspired to be. She was hardworking, excelled at work, and had a long-term boyfriend who she desperately loved.
Then, every month like clockwork, it all came crashing down..."
In her groundbreaking new book, The Cycle, Shalene shares her personal journey with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder, and her simultaneous quest to understand the collective pain of those who suffer and the societal forces at play.
In this FREE webinar, Shalene sits down with IAPMD to discuss her experiences researching and writing The Cycle, as well as navigating her health and relationships with PMDD. We'll chat about the writing process, turning pain into action, and lessons learned along the way. Bring your questions for a Q&A after the interview.
ABOUT THE CYCLE
"The Cycle uncovers a hidden epidemic, delivering the definitive portrait of a widespread chronic illness most people haven’t even heard of. From a historical overview of feminist debates, to on-the-ground interviews and a searing critique of menstrual stigma, Shalene Gupta lays out how disregard for this disorder has left too many people scrambling for appropriate healthcare. Deeply researched, movingly intimate, and refreshingly hopeful, this book is essential reading for any curious reader, especially those navigating a world ill-equipped to support their health."
