Sharra L. Vostral is associate professor of gender and women's studies and history at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
In this influential book, Vostral tackles what is often viewed as a
taboo subject....Written with academic rigor and filled with keen
insights....Under Wraps is a fascinating book to read. It provides
a detailed history of an often overlooked aspect of the social
history of American women.
*History In Review, January 2009*
Under Wraps is a valuable addition to our understanding of gender,
technology, and consumer culture.
*Linda Layne, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute*
While other writers have discussed the hidden nature of the
menstrual process, none, to my knowledge, have used the analogy of
passing with such consistency like Vostral has.
