The documentary film "Period. End of Sentence." won an Oscar in 2019 and now there is a book with the same name which outlines the challenges facing those who menstruate worldwide and the solutions championed by a new generation of body positive activists, innovators and public figures.

Including interviews from people on the frontlines, "Period. End of Sentence." illuminates the many ways that menstrual injustice can limit opportunities, erode self-esteem, and even threaten lives.

Journalist Anita Diament is the author of the new book and joins us this morning.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
