Her book, 4 Seasons in 4 Weeks. introduces the idea of a female 28-day body clock, which she coined a “circamena rhythm” (about a moon month), likened to the 24-hour body clock circadian rhythm (about a day), coined by Franz Halberg in the late 1950s. McQueen argues that women do not have “mood swings” but are instead “lunar rhythmic”.
