Woman's Physical Freedom,
book by Clelia Duel Mosher, M.D. (The Womans Press,
New York City, U.S.A., 1923, 87 pages)
Japanese trade unions put menstrual leave
into their contracts after World War II because of the shortage of material
for sanitary napkins. Apparently some Japanese businesses still allow menstrual
leave today. (A Japanese student at a Midwestern university sent me her
paper on the subject when the physical museum was in my house. She told
me she had to send for menstrual pads from Japan because the American ones
were too big for her!) I would like to know which American state is meant
below.
It's amazing how long it has taken to mostly understand
the menstrual cycle; Dr. Mosher takes a shot at it, below.
SarahAnne Hazlewood generously donated this
book to the museum.
