It was in fairy tales
They even put the corset on the freakin' Queen of England! Talk about propaganda...
However, Queen Elizabeth would prove to be one of the strongest monarchs in England's history. And she wore her corset differently than the 19th century woman. Maybe the binding DOWN of what physically made her a woman made it easier to walk amongst men, to rule men. Maybe the armor made her counselors forget she was a woman sometimes. Maybe it made them think of her mind, and not her sex.
What do you think?
Does this line of thinking bring to life the line
