of each month, during the best years of life, is more or less sick and unfit for hard work.

After women pressed ahead, attended college and excelled in the halls of learning, the debate about menstrual cycles shifted from their suitability for higher education to their suitability for public life in general. When the suffragists asked to participate in the political process, experts retaliated with more research proving that women belonged in the domestic sphere; menstruation figured prominently among the reasons.

Once women won the right to vote in 1920, the menstruation-equals-inadequacy debate waned for a while. In fact, two decades later, new proof arrived that women were perfectly fit and capable (even when bleeding) and therefore should step right up and join the war effort. But after the war, a fresh batch of studies were released proving that children need their moms at home, that the workplace is potentially hazardous to womens unborn children and that womens cycles make them less efficient workers than men.

In any case, the present debate against such a pill is not a particularly profitable attitude for Wyeth, as it angles for its share of the $1.7 billion annual American market for birth control pills.

So as business-savvy officials re-conceptualize menstruation as a disease in need of treatment, bleeding women may well be in for a lot of confusion- to stop or not to?
