I can't find much of a web presence for this press, so do your own due diligence, but I'm sharing this call for submissions because it's menopause-related, accepts previously published work, and has no reading fee
ALT This screen shot reads: "We still do not have enough submissions for the anthology. 3rd call for submissions: Pearl Street Press, based in New Haven CT and edited buy Lisa Siedlarz and Vivian Shipley is seeking submissions from all perspectives on the many challenges of menopause. Submit up to 3 poems not to exceed 6 pages, and essays not to exceed 1,000 words for our debut publication Rising from the Ashes. Emal submissions to [email protected]. The submission deadline is January 15, 2025. Previously published ok."
We've got a lot of them in the Stained Anthology!

Menstrual health is a vital part of humanitarian relief. Yet menstruation is often overlooked in humanitarian responses.

We get it. Love it, hate it, agnostic towards it - we all experience our periods differently. That's why we published the Stained anthology, covering the full range of menstrual emotions and experiences in poetry and prose.

We published the Stained anthology because maybe, just maybe, sharing stories of leaking through in the TA's office, in the outfield, on the jungle-gym, at the Punk show will maybe, just maybe, make more of us more understanding & empathetic. Maybe, just maybe, even change policy
1/ Gov. Tim Walz's detractors have dubbed him "Tampon Tim" because he signed a bill mandating free menstrual products in Minnesota public schools. The law addresses a genuine need—86% of menstruators have started their period unexpectedly in public. rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/08/… /

Love this genre-crossing menopause poem by Roseanna Alice Boswell in Glass Poetry glass-poetry.com/journal/202…
Don't know if we should 😆 or 😭. "Hey babe, let's chill, order takeout, and play a game with our menstrual products tonight. Maybe MaxiPad Jenga? Or Pick Up Tampons?"
"Menstrual products were classified as an excluded item in the “lifestyle related” day-to-day living costs category, which includes cigarettes and vapes, gambling, musical instruments, sports tickets, trampolines and gaming consoles."

First menstrual products and now "post menopausal females." If you want to keep up with US election trends, looks like you need to be reading Stained!!
I'm pretty sure a lot of our followers have stories like this. Check out this important project
this project by @michelle_hamer about experiences of being dismissed, disbelieved, and gaslit by the medical community is so incredible and incredibly important. if you or anyone you know has had this kind of experience, you can contribute here: lindenarts.org/exhibitions/l…
