The Story of Menstruation (1946)

A great material about health and education, and the first one that reveals that menstruation is not a taboo.

I love this cartoon and learned from it since I watched it for the first time. Since my preteen years I learned about puberty and adolescence thanks to the books I was given by my parents, both two doctors, and my school. It's moving that the girl as a baby, becomes a child and later grows up. It is not only about menstruation. It is about caring for yourself and others.

Being honest, this cartoon is not only aimed for girls, it is aimed for everyone to learn that periods aren't a taboo and won't be a taboo. Thanks, Walt and Gloria, because this cartoon you made, starred and created with respect and with real medical sources have been impacted other later productions that touch this theme without fear, as you two did.

Thanks.
