How much do we know about this sector and how has it changed in later decades? What constitutes 'the industry', who works in it, and how is it adapting to the current menstrual equity movement?Cash Flow provides a new academic study of the menstrual corporate landscape that links its twentieth-century origins to the current 'menstrual moment'. Drawing on a range of previously unexplored archival materials and interviews with industry insiders, each chapter examines one key company and brand: Saba in Norway, Essity in Sweden, Tambrands in the Soviet Union, Procter & Gamble in Britain and Europe, Kimberly-Clark in North America, and start-ups Clue and Thinx. By engaging with these corporate collections, the book highlights how the industry has survived as its consumers continually change. 517 $aCash Flow 606 $aHistory 606 $aMenstruation 606 $aFeminine hygiene products industry 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aMenstruation. 615 0$aFeminine hygiene products industry. 676 $a612.662 700 $aRøstvik$b Camilla Mørk$01281135 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910563098103321 996 $aCash Flow$93018203 997 $aUNINA
