Feminine cleanliness

Dirty Linen, an exhibition exploring women's uneasy and at times obsessive relationship with cleanliness, opens September 28 at the Women's Library in East London, running until December 21, 2002. (via plep)

And the awesome Museum of Menstruation has tons of stuff on "feminine hygiene," including old Lysol douche ads that promised marital bliss through vaginal disinfection. Ouch!
