#14: The Glamor Bonnet, 1941
When it comes to being a woman, society has been known to place some truly crazy expectations on women everywhere. These days, women are more aware of the ridiculous expectations placed on them and have a greater ability to say when they feel like certain things are being pushed onto them. But as we have already seen, this awareness hasn’t always existed…
We’re unsure if this woman is going to space or getting a beauty treatment. This “Glamor Bonnet” was well known in the 1940s as a device to improve skin complexion. By using low atmospheric pressure, this device somehow positively affected skin regeneration. Thankfully, there are better, safer, and less intense things women can do today to improve skin health.
