To help her from girlhood NEW BOOKS IN BRIEF to healthy womanhood... Nothing seems to hold a girl back from attaining true maturity as much as the superstitions and fears that surround the subject of her menstruation. How important it is for her, at this special time of her life, to understand her menstrual cycle as the sign, the badge, of her womanhood-which she can look to with pride. That is why Tampax has designed a teaching aid which covers every aspect of feminine hygiene. The teachers' manual "How Times Have Changed" is a valuable part of this kit. It includes highlights of ancient superstitions regarding menstruation... anatomical charts... doctors' published reports on internal sanitary protection. Another valuable feature of this kit is the students' leaflet "It's NaturalIt's Normal"-written in warm, reassuring language to stimulate in young girls a healthy confidence and pride in menstruation as a wonderful part of reaching maturity.
