A Tale of Hope, Faith and Forgiveness Edited by Zita Podany This book is a summary of Maria's life. She survived the Nazi labor and death camps that plagued most parts of Europe during World War II. She had to learn to cope with death at an early age. In a short period of time, she lost her father and three brothers as she and her mother clung to life and sanity in the insanity that surrounded them, from her father being dragged off from their home to the cruelty that permeated the labor and death camps. Their resilience, faith, hope, and sheer survival of will and spirit should serve as an inspiration and lesson for all.

The Palgrave Handbook of Critical Menstruation Studies
This open access handbook, the first of its kind, provides a comprehensive and carefully curated multidisciplinary and genre-spanning view of the state of the field of Critical Menstruation Studies, opening up new directions in research and advocacy. It is animated by the central question: ‘“what new lines of inquiry are possible when we center our attention on menstrual health and politics across the life course?” The chapters—diverse in content, form and perspective—establish Critical Menstruation Studies as a potent lens that reveals, complicates and unpacks inequalities across biological, social, cultural and historical dimensions. This handbook is an unmatched resource for researchers, policy makers, practitioners, and activists new to and already familiar with the field as it rapidly develops and expands.
