Just For Girls... and Their Mothers, TooNew Haven's Rachel Kauder Nalebuff is the 18-year-old editor of My Little Red Book, a collection of stories written by women of all ages and backgrounds about the experience of their first menstrual period.
The book started out as a high school project; became much more, and this week, was featured in the Editor's Choice section of the New York Times Book Review. The book includes short essays by a diverse group of well-known writers including Meg Cabot, Gloria Steinem, Judy Blume, Erica Jong, Cecily von Ziegesar, and Joyce Maynard.
