Menstruation has long been shaped by silence, stigma, and systems designed to keep women disconnected from their own bodies. For filmmaker Rebecca Snow, those forces became impossible to ignore while directing Pandora’s Box, a documentary exploring menstrual inequity and the cultural taboos that continue to shape cyclical health. In this conversation with Two Moons, she reflects on why Pandora’s Box was created to “fling open the lid” on menstrual stigma, why silence around women’s biological transitions is structural rather than accidental, and how female-led storytelling can shift who controls the narrative around women’s bodies.

Policy is often discussed in the abstract, as spreadsheets or legislation. But for Dr. Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, policy is something we carry in our cells. As a distinguished scholar and CEO of the health tech company HyperVigilant, she has spent over 25 years studying the lethal combination of racism and ageism she calls "rageism," and how these systems dictate who is protected and who is left to weather the storm. Her new book on the subject, RAGEism: Racism, Ageism, and the Quest for Liberation Democracy, is set for release on May 5th.

Endometriosis is often framed as a private health issue. Something to manage quietly, around meetings, deadlines, and expectations that don’t bend. But for millions of women, it creates a hidden productivity tax - one workplaces are not currently designed to account for, and it imposes a cost that falls almost entirely on them - in lost income, missed opportunities, and careers quietly derailed. Nicole Notar is part of a growing movement pushing that conversation into the open in the United States.

A century after The New Yorker began as a humor magazine, women cartoonists are still redrawing its cultural edges. In this conversation, we speak with Liza about the feminist roots of cartooning, the power of humor to make invisible experiences legible, creative confidence after menopause, and why a drawn line, when paired with laughter, can shift culture faster than argument alone.
