How shall I tell my daughter? Puberty & menstruation information for mothers to tell daughters
1981, Personal Products Company, U.S.A.
Complete booklet


Below: Pp. 1 (inside front cover)-2
When the museum was open in my house, one visitor told me her physician mother just
handed her a box of pads and said, "You'll need these." No discussion of menstruation, no nothing.
Another said her mother saw her on her bed trying to insert a tampon and did it for her. She
said it was the closest experience she remembered having had with her mother.
Read a little commentary about the subject.
