Short story. Haiku. Teenage memoir. Interior monologue. Comedic masterpiece. Childhood reminiscence. Doggerel. One-act play. Character study. Minor essay. Major treatise. There are no right or wrong submissions. Seventh Generation would like to invite you to share some thoughts about menstruation, to hear what you have to say about periods, menses, flow, tampons, mini-pads, maxi-pads, cravings, sexuality, puberty, or anything else that has some connection with the great monthly cycle of female fertility upon which civilization depends.

Except for the request that your words address the subject of menstruation in some small way, we wish to dictate no terms about what you might write. No rules. No restrictions. No limits. Just a chance to play and a place to share your creativity. Pour yourself a spot of tea (or something stronger, which we readily admit you might just need after this missive) and give it some thought. Submit your masterpiece and then give yourself a pad on the back for supporting a worthy social and environmental project.
