Part of the Series

Truthout is a vital news source and a living history of political struggle. If you think our work is valuable, support us with a donation of any size.

Following The Ladydrawers’ March investigation into the gender bias embedded in copyright law, Anne Elizabeth Moore and Laura Szumowski started to look at patents and feminine hygiene in April. This followup strip reveals the amazing feminist secrets of the sanitary napkin disposal bag, and it is sure to delight and disgust. Stay tuned to this link next month, too, when we look at the crazy cat lady who holds the secrets to patent law reform!

An urgent appeal for your support: We Have Until Midnight to raise $10,000

Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.

Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.

Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we launched a fundraiser. We have until midnight tonight to hit our $10,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
