The Power of Days--A Story of Resilience, Dignity, and the Fight for Women's Equity by Celeste Mergens

Celeste Mergen is an author, thought leader, and changemaker and has been featured in Oprah’s O Magazine, Forbes, and Stanford Social Innovation Review. She is the Founder of Days for Girls, a global award-winning organization championing Women's Health and Menstrual Health Equity. Days for Girls was named by the Huffington Post as a ‘Next Ten’ Organization poised to change the world in the next decade and has reached more than 3 million women and girls in 145 countries. 

Her book, "The Power of Days: A Story of Resilience, Dignity, and the Fight for Women’s Equity," is a story of a social shift and a legacy for future generations—one that highlights the powerful impact we can have when we come together.

The journey to overcome one of the world’s most prevalent taboos is proof that no divide is impossible to bridge. This is the story of one woman’s path to create a grassroots effort that has now helped nearly 3 million women and girls in 145 countries on 6 continents—and isn’t stopping there. Every month, millions of girls and women around the world miss school and work during their periods because they don’t have access to menstrual products such as pads or tampons.
