How did women of other eras keep such slender and curvy figures? In this course, we explore their secrets, and check out how corsets, bustles and other little tricks pushed women in and out in all the right places. Today, the arguments are the same as those of more than one hundred years ago: are they unhealthy; do they set unrealistic beauty standards; do they objectify the woman's body; do they help the successful oppression of women; and how can women move in corsets, anyway?
