At what age should girls be told about menstruation?

Girls (and boys!) should have information by about age 8, some of which may be provided in school. Instructional books are helpful, but mothers should also share their own personal experiences with their daughters, including when their periods first started and what it felt like, and how, like many things, it wasn't such a big deal after a while.
