Below:
P. 20. "The mother of any
girl who is passing
through this monthly
disturbance should be very
careful to guard her in
every possible way."
"Dark
forebodings." "[E]xpect little
from them."
Sudden
chills are
dangerous during
menstruation. "Intense
mental excitement should
be avoided. The extremes
of merriment or anger,
laborious study, or
brain
activity of any kind,
are alike matters which may cause great
injury."
|
P. 21. "In workshops, at
the loom, or in close and
stuffy factories, women
have to suffer untold
tortures during
the few days when they are
at their worst."
What did some English cotton
mill women do
during their periods
around this time (scroll
down about halfway
down the page to the
June 2001 e-mail on the
Suffragist movement)?
