Suffragettes in Corselettes

Wednesday, December 16 at 7 pm EST

Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81439123995

Meeting ID: 814 3912 3995

For centuries, women have allowed themselves to be squeezed, twisted, and squished to conform to desired shapes. The history of underwear reveals a lot about women’s changing roles in society – how we perceive ourselves, and how we’re viewed by others. The 1910s saw an end to the hourglass figure with a tiny waist. Women were finally able to breathe and move more freely. Did the demise of tight-lacing help women gain the right to vote in 1920? Underwear matters. Grounded Goodwife looks at history with a new eye by including topics not generally learned in school.
