hi everyone.

okay, here is an interesting one for you all.  i'm currently doign some
research on condoms as material culture, as well as going through their
technological changes over the centuries, etc.  however, i've come across
two references (Stopes and Himes) that briefly mention the female condom
(ie. one or two lines), and these were published in 1923 and 1936.  does
anyone know of any additional information abou them?  i have got one
picture of it, but no history as to when it was introduced, or taken off
of the market, etc.  the two sources are pretty negatie about it, however,
and i get the impression that it wasn't all that popular.  anyway, if
anyone has some info, let me know.

thanks
adrienne
