Cycles of (in)visibility: evolvements, constancies, and frictions of menstrual cycles at work

Our analysis shows that cyclic practices are largely individualized, which risks burdening WPMC with the additional work of finding solutions for cyclic symptoms within ongoing linear, meritocratic work structures. To counteract these dynamics, this study proposes rethinking workplaces by setting cyclic working bodies as the default. In this way, they are built to accommodate diverse and changing embodied experience by equally valuing care as well as times of regeneration.
