The Educational Screen Review of "The Story of Menstruation"
The Educational Screen Journal review of "The Story Of Menstruation."
The Educational Screen Journal informed instructors of new films useful in the classroom. The review of "The Story of Menstruation," a film produced by the Walt Disney company, was pivotal in removing the stigma and embarrassment associated with menstruation. The film then led to a widespread publication, being shown in classrooms across America.
This film was hailed for the constant effort that was seen in the finished product, both in terms of the high production values, and in the straightforward manner that the topic was presented. The author of the review makes it a point to show that even the title "The Story of Menstruation" was neither sugarcoated nor treated women as inferior, such as similar films of the era tended to do.
