MUSEUM OF MENSTRUATION AND WOMEN'S HEALTH
"Are you in the know?" (Kotex
sanitary napkins, U.S.A., World War
II, magazine unknown)
The war theme continues with the
question at the upper right of this
ad; the WAC - Women's Army Corps -
lieutenant can marry the buck
sergeant in spite of the usual
prohibition of social contacts between
officers and enlisted soldiers.
The running board, dresses and hair
styles remind you of the era.
