Iris used to always have severe pain when her period started. She realized that society is set up for a weekly rhythm, but a woman's body has a monthly rhythm. Now she accurately tracks her cycle and knows exactly how she will feel and what she can handle in each phase.

Since she experiences menstruation as something positive, she realizes that the current form of women's emancipation is actually wrong: the contraceptive pill cripples your entire natural cycle, just to counteract those 24 hours when you are fertile. Iris pleads for more attention to the female body.
