Description

When a humiliating photograph unexpectedly turns a disgraced political wife into an internet sensation, Kathleen Held becomes the reluctant face of a movement challenging the stigma surrounding menstruation and public shame. Drawn into the orbit of a group devoted to transforming scandal into self-reinvention, she discovers that online fame can offer both empowerment and peril. As Kathleen embraces her new celebrity, her increasingly complicated relationship with her activist daughter forces her to confront what truly matters beyond the digital spotlight. Witty, timely, and tender, this sharp satire explores social media culture, political hypocrisy, feminism, family, and the uneasy price of reclaiming one’s story.
