13.2 The Corset
Manage episode 431751970 series 2870202
Corsets are infamous as torturous devices, specially designed to keep women in their place and helpless. But reality is a little more complicated than that, as it always is. This episode discusses:
- the origin of the corset
- the evolving function of the corset
- the 19th century corset
- how small could a woman go?
- who enforced this idea anyway?
- how bad for your health was it?
- where did the corset go?
