Hoorah for the Bra - A Perky Peek at the History of the Brassiere - Hardback - 2006

It was in 1914 that Mary Phelps Jacob set women free - from the prison of the corset. This New York socialite stitched together two handkerchiefs and a long pink ribbon to fashion the world's first-ever brassiere. This work presents a cast of characters - mail-order moguls, sweater-clad movie stars, and brassiere-torching women's-libbers.
