At the very end of today's daf, we are introduced to a new Mishna. It teaches us that woman's menstrual blood is like a vineyard: some is red and some is black in colour. Some is abundant and some is meagre. And just like leaven is good for bread, menstrual blood is good for a woman.
The rabbis discuss the importance of a woman's fertility. Like all of us, they want to know that they have some sense of understanding of and control over women's bodily functions.
