The flower cover design is one of a long series of flower (see the word) associations with menstruation - running from
the innocent to the flower
of a prostitute!
As it has done since at least the 1920s, Kimberly Clark Corporation
created this booklet to explain menstruation and puberty to girls of the
era, this time as part of a series called The Life
Cycle Library. (See covers and excerpts
from some of the other booklets in the series.)
But like all booklets from companies (contrast one from Planned
Parenthood) this one promotes its products.
