Although we have a general idea of what beauty was like throughout the decades, we often don’t look at the harsh realities that these women faced beyond the surface.
Karolina Żebrowska decided to create a video to illustrate a more truthful representation of what beauty was like throughout the decades.
“As a person interested in the history of fashion and beauty it really bugged me how inaccurate some of these are,” she wrote on her blog. She then told Refinery29, “I felt that the other videos were completely unrealistic and there was a sense of fakeness that really irritated me.”
In her video, Żebrowska features suffragists, domestic workers, women struggling in the Great Depression and nurses in the Army. The video gives a more accurate representation of what these women were really like.
Her video is not only interesting, but educational. Watch it below:
