Lara Owen Author

Her Blood Is Gold was Dr Lara Owen’s first book and grew out of her experience tracking her own menstrual cycle and discovering the unexpected benefits of living with—rather than against—this natural process. Since writing the book she has gone on to do further research in several countries. She holds a PhD in menstrual management and organization, for which she researched reusable menstrual products and menstruation in the workplace. She has worked for global institutions, universities, and the third sector as a consultant and researcher on menstruation, menopause, and women’s wellbeing and rights more broadly. She now teaches courses in Contemporary Menstrual Studies through her website, laraowen.com
