| The concerns of women with learning difficulties are rarely addressed in feminist or disability rights analyses, or indeed in most areas of public debate. It is important that we recognise that women with learning difficulties have unique experiences, and also that they share much in common with other disadvantaged women. This paper addresses the issue of menstruation, an experience common to many women. It describes the findings of a qualitative study of women with learning difficulties' experiences of menstruation. In doing so, it not only provides insights into how they experience this important aspect of their lives, but also reveals something about how they experience being a woman. | |
