This subject has been covered in depth at least since the 1970s by feminists, lesbians, and others! I do not know the details on this new exhibition, but it appears Harvard University is regurgitating here well knowns!
What is menstrual equity please? This new ideological term equity is quickly attached to everything under the sun thereby becoming meaningless and a nuisance!
"Throughout the 20th century, the marketing and design of menstrual products often stigmatized menstruation as an unmentionable bodily affliction. Menstruation was wrapped in euphemism: that time of the month, a weakness, a nuisance. “Feminine hygiene” products offered sanitation, invisibility, and freedom—but at what cost? Out for Blood: Feminine Hygiene to Menstrual Equity shows how marketing and social norms around menstruation create a cultural construct with power to shape people’s lives."
