Quotes Containing corset:
Lawrence Paros. The Erotic Tongue (1984): ''The bra , or something like it , has been in use for over 6,000 years but really didn''t come into its own until the turn of the century. The first formal application for a patent on the garment was filed on February 12, 1914 by Mary Phelps Jacob, also known as Caresse Crosby, who fashioned a prototype using some ribbons, thread , and two handkerchiefs. After World War I, the donning of the bra became synonymous with the chucking of the corset , long considered the restrainer of the female and the mainstay of her oppression. The bra allowed women to both liberate their bodies and assume a host of activities, both work and play, previously open only to men.''
