Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights:#1 I was ten when I started shaving my legs. My dark shin fur was hard to ignore in shorts weather, and my mother gave me a box from the Modess company. It was a my first period kit, and inside were samples of pads and panty liners.#2 I had menarche in 1981 when I was ten years old. I was very sympathetic, but I was also a little baffled. I had read the pamphlet How Shall I Tell My Daughter. but nowhere in it did it say that your period was not a blue liquid.#3 The author experienced car creepery at 13, when a man yelled Nice tits at her while she was walking home from school. She responded by yelling Suck my dick, which is not the moment she associates with entering womanhood. It was when she bought this kickass white denim suit at the Springfield mall.#4 I had a gynecology appointment in Chicago, and it was at a Planned Parenthood. I was taken to an examining room where a big butch nurse practitioner asked me if I was pregnant. I said no, and she took out a speculum the size of a milk shake machine. I fainted both times they tried to examine me.
