From the publisher:
Internationally acclaimed cartoonist Strömquist riffs on the outrageous history of menstruation and half the population’s genitalia.
“In this lively feminist graphic essay collection, Strömquist embraces an often fraught topic, balancing serious analysis and irreverent, R-rated humor.” — Publishers Weekly
“How I loved reading Liv Strömquist’s Fruit of Knowledge. If her strips are clever, angry, funny and righteous, they’re also informative to an eye-popping degree. Should you be in possession of a teenage daughter, you absolutely must buy it for her and all her friends, in addition to those copies you will now immediately purchase for yourself and all of yours.” — The Guardian
