Marjorie May's 12th [Twelfth]
Birthday
(Kotex puberty & menstruation booklet,
U.S.A., 1938)
Complete booklet
Ten years after the first
Marjorie May's 12th Birthday,
Kotex offered the puberty and
menstruation education pamphlet
below, a late and maybe final
edition. The language is freer and
story has changed somewhat, but it
still reflects the privileged
clientele Kotex sold its menstrual
napkins to. See below for earlier
editions and a discussion of the
series, and see similar
booklets on this site.
