    Size Zero Is Back. So Is My Rage. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    At fifteen, I bought one of those torture-ab devices they sold on day-time TV.The kind designed to make you feel like your own stomach is a moral failure. Fifteen!!I should have been doing cartwheels, or flirting with someone on MSN. Instead I was on the floor, crunching myself into self-loathing.The women on TV were all bare bellies and big smiles, and I bought the promise that if I looked like them, I could stop feeling so shit about myself. But it wasn’t only the machine.There were also the p

    A note before you start: I’ll be talking about wombs, ovaries and menstrual cycles, but this isn’t only a conversation for women who have them. The deeper question is what your own body can teach you about cycles, creativity and change.I spent about twenty years trying to become creative.Which is a strange thing to spend twenty years trying to become when the thing I was looking for had been sitting inside my body the entire time.I thought I lacked talent. Discipline. The right ideas. Whatever i

    Excerpt

    For years, I thought I was the problem.Every month, there was a version of me I didn’t quite trust.Suddenly everyone irritated me.My relationship felt wrong.My work felt meaningless.I’d start questioning everything, then get my period a few days later and think, well, there I go again.So I learned to get ahead of her.To dismiss the anger before anyone else could.
