How the Swimsuit Shrunk (ep 1.6)

from Her Half of History · host Evergreen Podcasts

Most women, if they swam at all, were probably skinny dipping. Regular beach goers with regular beach wear got going in the 19th century when they wore an unbelievable amount of gear. In the decades since, the swimsuit shrunk in fits and starts, and even an occasional retreat. Visit the ⁠website⁠ (herhalfofhistory.com) for sources, transcripts, and pictures.
