    Corsets!! What would we give for corsets to be in fashion now!

    interesting photo,
    a big no thank you - to the frills & corsets
    and an even bigger no thank you to the status of those women.
    At that time - still little better than 'property'.
    1909 Women garment workers strike in New York for better wages and working conditions in the Uprising of the 20,000. Over 300 shops eventually sign union contracts.
    1960 Women now earn only 60 cents for every dollar earned by men, a decline since 1955. Women of color earn only 42 cents.

    The more people we can make victims of the better off we are eh? These ladies had it well, it's obvious by their status and their fineries. No victims there... but check behind the next door, you'll probably find someone else willing to become a victim of the majority view.

    Interesting pic!

    I love that each dress has its own distinctive colour.

    And yes, the whole treatment of women was horrible at the time, but I really wouldn't mind wearing some of them threads!

    They could afford color pictures at that time...I don't think they were exactly poor.

    An unhappy society, caught in their arrogance and unspoken pain, where money rules over beauty and women were supposed to like to be subpressed. "But look at those dresses ..." Yeah, I see those dresses - but where are the smiles???
