Martha Gwion from Merched Cymru said: “The Period Dignity Action Plan, that went out to consultation at the beginning of the year, used awkward and confusing language, deliberately avoiding the use of the words women and girls. Instead of being person centred so that it can reach women and girls in marginalised or vulnerable groups effectively, it is focused on bodily functions and on avoiding sex-based language completely. “Those who menstruate” is not clear language. The document says: " Menstruation is a specific experience of the female sex, however not all people who are assigned female at birth, or who identify as women, menstruate. Conversely, there are people who identify as genders other than women, such as trans men, intersex and non-binary people who also menstruate. The language used within this Action Plan is deliberately broad as the plan aims to include all who menstruate. In this episode we’ll meet Sophie Mirman, Margaret Seymour, Martha Lane Fox, Penny Smith, Susan Faludi, and Lesley Knox, amongst many others.

A Welsh Government spokesperson said: “Our intention is always to use inclusive language and not exclude anyone from learning about and discussing these important topics. Research and focus groups with young people from Wales helped to design and inform the Bloody Brilliant campaign, as well as our upcoming Period Dignity Plan. We will be publishing our Period Dignity Plan in the autumn and will take into account views expressed in the consultation.”

However, the narrative that women have achieved full equality and that our job is done is frankly ludicrous, so we’ll also explore the new mechanisms for silencing women that have evolved in the modern era.

Through their stories we’ll explore how female entrepreneurs prospered during the 80s 90s, and early 2000s, succeeding in the financial sector and prospering from the boom years of the Internet and tech companies, and how this was set against the overall picture for women at this time of statis and compromise. Your one-stop guide for everything period-related! Whether you want to know what to expect from your first period, or you’re well into the swing of things but still have some questions, don’t worry… we’re here to help! Newman points out that the likes of the Brontës and Florence Nightingale, though great figures, have almost become “brands” (I am sure there are tote bags and mugs). She also corrects further historical wrongs in including diverse women often sidelined: women of colour, trans women and those with disabilities. In particular, asylums play a prominent role.
