For
centuries, women have allowed themselves to be squeezed, twisted, and
squished to conform to desired shapes. The history of underwear reveals a
lot about women’s changing roles in society – how we perceive
ourselves, and how we’re viewed by others. The 1910s saw an end to the
hourglass figure with a tiny waist. Women were finally able to breathe
and move more freely. Did the demise of tightlacing help women gain the
right to vote in 1920? Underwear matters.
Herstory Unsanitized presentations
explore the engrossing “taboo” subjects omitted from history. When a
zany teacher and grounded green witch join forces, they create Grounded Goodwife.
Velya Jancz-Urban’s gregarious personality and Ehris Urban’s serene
energy enable this mother/daughter duo to connect with audiences. Their
delivery is funny and frank. Laugh, grimace, and honor our foremothers’
journeys.
