Have you read her works? Did you like them?

I have her novel "Akata Witch" which I haven't read, yet.

Locus has published an interview with her that I haven't read yet, either.

I did, however, read her short story "The Palm Tree Bandit" and I loved it! Absolutely recommended, a very feminist tale.

What's the word for the people who menstruate though? Do they share a word? Why don't they have a word yet, after thousands of years and the development of human language? Calling these people "menstruators" seems so clumsy and clinical, maybe even dehumanizing; other mammals could be called "menstruators," so how do we distinguish these folks with a word that humanizes them? Gee, it's just so weird they don't have a word.

Also, I wanna know if "menstruators" are always menstruators, or just when they are menstruating.
