1851 Amelia Attire Bloomer Bloomers Originator Practical Received Reform Scandalous Sight Mannish
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history when the British public was first introduced to the scandalous new attire for women known as bloomers. Amelia Bloomer, the originator of this revolutionary dress reform movement, is depicted here in all her Victorian glory, challenging societal norms with her practical and unwomanly choice of clothing.
In 1851, Amelia Bloomer made waves by daring to wear what was considered a mannish and scandalous outfit that defied traditional gender roles. The sight of her donning these bloomer garments caused quite a stir among onlookers, sparking debates about femininity, modesty, and freedom of expression.
Through this historical image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the boldness and courage of Amelia Bloomer as she paved the way for future generations of women to embrace their individuality and challenge oppressive social expectations. This photograph serves as a reminder of the power of fashion as a tool for social change and empowerment.
Thanks to Mary Evans Picture Library's collection, we are able to glimpse into this significant moment in women's history and appreciate Amelia Bloomer's contributions towards gender equality through her innovative approach to dress reform.
