Featuring hilariously raw, deeply relatable, and sometimes shockingly honest stories from women of all ages, this book is for anyone who has ever felt embarrassed, empowered, or just plain exhausted by their own body. It’s a celebration of womanhood in all its messy, crampy, awkward glory—because if we don’t laugh about it, what else can we do?
