Giveaway: My Little Red Book

Thanks to Anna with Hatchette Book Group , I have five copies of My Little Red Book by Rachel Kauder Nalebuff available for giveaway.

Book Description:
"MY LITTLE RED BOOK is an anthology of stories about first periods, collected from women of all ages from around the world. The accounts range from light-hearted (the editor got hers while water skiing in a yellow bathing suit) to heart-stopping (a first period discovered just as one girl was about to be strip-searched by the Nazis). The contributors include well-known women writers (Meg Cabot, Erica Jong, Gloria Steinem, Cecily von Ziegesar), alongside today's teens. And while the authors differ in race, faith, or cultural background, their stories share a common bond: they are all accessible, deeply honest, and highly informative. Whatever a girl experiences or expects, she'll find stories that speak to her thoughts and feelings.Ultimately, MY LITTLE RED BOOK is more than a collection of stories. It is a call for a change in attitude, for a new way of seeing periods. In a time when the taboo around menstruation seems to be one of the few left standing, it makes a difficult subject easier to talk about, and helps girls feel proud instead of embarrassed or ashamed. By revealing what it feels like to undergo this experience first hand, and giving women the chance to explain their feelings in their own words, it aims to provide support, entertainment, and a starting point for discussion for mothers and daughters everywhere. It is a book every girl should have. Period."

I would like to read this book because I feel strongly about female empowerment. I love a book that brings women together to show just how strong and unique we all are, yet how close our bond is.

A book about your first periods sounds hilarious! I was someone who never wanted it and when I got it needed a lot of convincing in order to admit that it was the real deal :p Please enter me in this giveaway.

I've also left a link of your giveaway at my blog, it's off to the side under the header Giveaway List.

Thanks
