I thought it was weird that Thinx’s founder, Miki Agrawal, had no thoughts on menstrual leave. Was it a sign of things to come?

Last year, I wrote an in-depth story called “Bleeding on the Job” about the how periods affect women at work. While many women work hard to make it seem like their menstrual cycles are no big deal in the workplace—after all, there is enough stacked against them when they compare themselves to their male colleagues—getting your period unexpectedly or getting a particularly heavy or painful period can be a burden. I also explored companies that were working to make menstruating at work easier.
