The Educational Screen Review of "The Story of Menstruation"

The Educational Screen Review of The Story Of Menstruation.

The Educational Screen journal served to inform instructors of new films that could be useful in the classroom. Their review of The Story of Menstruation, a film produced by the Walt Disney company, was pivotal to the widespread publication of a film that explained to teenage girls the process that their bodies underwent every month while removing much of the stamina and embarrassment associated with menstruation.

This film was also 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 makes it a point to show that even the title The Story of Menstruation was not sugarcoated nor treats women as an inferior sex due to the natural occurrence as some films produced around this time tended to do.
