Anita Diamant's latest book tackles the often-difficult subject of menstruation across the globe--discussing menstrual justice, period poverty and tampon taxes. Titled Period. End of Sentence. (Scribner's May), the book was prompted by The Pad Project, an Academy-Award winning short documentary film and organization in California who's producer, Melissa Burton, approached Diamant to write.

Diamant is the author of the novels The Boston Girl, The Red Tent, Good Harbor, The Last Days of Dogtown, and Day After Night, and the collection of essays, Pitching My Tent. An award-winning journalist whose work appeared in The Boston Globe Magazine and Parenting, she is the author of six nonfiction guides to contemporary Jewish life.
