Abstract
A review of the literature on the effects of the menstrual cycle on women workers is made. Under "Scientific Evidence," onset and physiology, performance effects, and subjective feelings are considered. Under "Industrial Applications," effects on production, absenteeism, extent of menstrual handicaps, and menstrual health and occupations are likewise discussed. Finally "Educational Effects" are noted. The author concludes that the menstrual cycle has little effect on the [female] worker. What effects exist are of a subjective character, reflecting the effects of expectancy, and cultural traditions.
