Description:Excerpt from Functional Periodicity: An Experimental Study of the Mental and Motor Abilities of Women During Menstruation The present study concerns itself with the mental and motor abilities of women during menstruation, a question of special interest in the United States, where co-education and the higher education of women are well established. The literature of ethnology retates in variety and detail the ancient superstitions and primitive practices that center around the functional periodicity of women. Menstruation has always been the object of superstition and taboo, and is such even among the civilized peoples of to-day. As an instance of the long survival of savage notions it may be pointed out that The British Medical Journal as late as 1878 contains a long and serious correspondence and discussion as to whether a menstruating woman will contaminate the food which she touches. One contributor puts himself on record as follows; "I thought the fact was so generally known to every housewife and cook that meat would spoil if salted at the menstrual period, that 1 am surprised to see so many letters in The Journal. If I am not mistaken, the question was mooted many years ago in the periodicals. It is undoubtedly the fact that meat will be tainted if cured by women at the catamcnial period... Whatever the rationale may be, I can speak positively as to the fact."1 Another contributor, opposed to medical education for women, exclaims: "If such bad results accrue from a woman curing dead meat whilst she is menstruating, what would result, under similar conditions, from her attempt to cure living flesh in her midwifery or surgical practice?"We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
