Critical Menstrual Studies
Critical Menstruation Studies is a new field of interdisciplinary academic research which seeks to investigate the social, economic, cultural, historic and scientific aspects of the menstrual cycle. It was coined in the 2010s, and officially launched through The Palgrave Handbook for Critical Menstruation Studies in 2020.[1]
Menstruation Scholarship prior to launch of Critical Menstruation Studies
Although defined in the 2010s, menstrual scholarship has a long history dating back to the 1800s. During the twentieth-century, a more critical approach to menstrual research developed to include analysis of the product industry, menstrual taboos, and menstrual pain. Chris Bobel, in her book New Blood, covers the history of activism and scholarship to date.[2]
