Tillie Olsen"Red Flower comes out of woman’s experience...Taylor translates pre-Second Wave research into feminist sense."

Jeannine Parvati"This book will become a classic." The Doula".. Informed commentary on the mythic, superstitious and scientific aspects of women’s menstrual life. Who, then, should read Red Flower?
