Join us to celebrate KCL alumnus, Dr Sally King's first book: 'Menstrual Myth Busting: The Case of the Hormonal Female'. The event is open to public and all King's staff and students.

Sally is a Medical Sociologist specialising in menstrual health and associated human rights issues. She is the founder of the world's first evidence-based information website on this topic, Menstrual Matters (www.menstrual-matters.com).

Sally typically uses critical realist mixed methodologies to integrate and critically evaluate biological, epidemiological, sociological and popular discourse data. Her work reveals the unintentional influence of pervasive gender and racial myths in female reproductive health knowledge and practices in the UK (and beyond). In particular, the myth of the hysterical (now 'hormonal') woman/ Other, as it has evolved over the past few centuries.

The book was published on 27th February 2025 and available for pre-order on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Menstrual-Myth-Busting-Hormonal-Female/dp/1447371623

The link to join the event will be sent one week in advance.
