About the Author

Rachel Kauder-Nalebuff is a graduate of Choate Rosemary Hall and attended Yale University. In Choate’s annual Pratt-Packard oratory contest, she adapted her own first-period experience and other stories from My Little Red Book to an audience of 1,000 classmates: “This is a speech about first periods, and I don’t mean your 8:00 AM class,” the speech began. The inspiration to begin collecting first period stories arose out of a conversation with her mother.
