520 1 $a"Menstruation provides one of the few shared bodily functions that most women will experience during their lifetimes. Yet these experiences are anything but common. In the United States, for the better part of the twentieth century, menstruation went hand-in-glove with menstrual hygiene. But how and why did this occur? This book looks at the social history of menstrual hygiene by examining it as a technology. In doing so, the technological lens provides a way to think about menstrual artifacts, how artifacts are used, and how women gained the knowledge and skills to use them. As technological users, women developed great savvy in manipulating belts, pins, and pads, and using tampons to effectively mask their entire menstrual period. This masking is a form of passing, though it is not often thought of in that way. By using a technology of passing, a woman might pass temporarily as a non-bleeder, which could help her perform her work duties and not get fired, or maintain social engagements like swimming at a summer party and not be marked as having her period. How women use technologies of passing and the resulting politics of secrecy are a part of women's history that has remained under wraps."--BOOK JACKET.
