Girls Guide to Menstruation
Voelckers
1975
Actually this might be your Mom’s period book. First, I am trying to figure out what is with this cover. Is it modern art or looking up in a forest? Is it symbolic? So, what does it all mean? Second, do I really need to reiterate how health information needs to be updated? Still not convinced? Take a look at the old school sanitary napkins. Try to imagine handing this to a pre-teen in 2012. I also appreciate the advice of a hot shower and perfume for pre-menstrual “tension”. Just try and feel pretty and all your problems will go away.
Just so everyone can put this in perspective, the intended audience in 1975 is probably heading into menopause in 2012.
