Marjorie May Learns About Life
(Kotex puberty & menstruation booklet, 1936)
Marjorie May and her mother starred for Kotex sanitary napkins in many
booklets in English-speaking countries. In the course of learning the facts
of life, mainly menstruation, Ms. May participates in the Kotex sales program
for pads and menstrual belts. The language would not lighten up until the
1940s - in "As One Girl to Another."
