A Dangerous Year For Women!
What a dangerous year 1926 was! I was reading through "These Tremendous Years 1919-1938" and came across practically the only page in which all the pictures were of women.
Some women really lived on the edge!
Immodest grannies could wear short skirts! (Look out, Nelly!)
Dancing the Charleston could seriously damage your health and, as for jazz - that was barbaric!
Don't know why, but I love this picture! |
So, girls, lets raise a glass to the women who defied convention ... and had a great time doing it!
Love, Liz

This is fascinating Liz - rashes behind the ears, 3 yards of fabric instead of 7, jazz subverting 'beauty'. It was all going on!
