Kotex "Are you in the know?" booklet for menstrual napkins,
1956, U.S.A.
For years copywriters for Kotex produced Are you
in the know? advertisements for teenage American girls. This booklet
- below are the cover and two interior pages - is a compilation of these
ads published by Kimberly-Clark in 1956. There are only
Caucasians in these ads, and the advice they give, and the dress
of the people, suggest at least an upper-middle class
audience. Times have certainly changed! See a more complete discussion elsewhere.
SarahAnne Hazlewood generously donated the booklet to this museum.
