Abstract

For many women, a menstrual cycle is an inextricable part of being a woman. From the onset of menarche, through childbirth, and into menopause, a woman's feminine nature is defined by menstruation, a uniquely female experience. In the twenty-first century, women are becoming aware of the option to dismiss their monthly periods for reasons ranging from health concerns to simple convenience. These new opportunities parallel and sometimes overlap decisions women make about birth control and raise issues about agency, health risks, and the further medicalization of women's bodies in a medical system historically managed and operated by men. Whether it is through menstruation suppression or by using birth control, women now have decisions to make about their bodies, forcing a range of questions from everyday women to scholars to physicians.
