Monday, March 8: Suffer For Beauty

State Capital Museum

By Ron Swarner on March 3, 2010

Butt implants are everywhere. Gone are the more simple times when women perked up their form through torturous straps and pins and clamps and possibly a witch's spell or two. Patricia Cosgrove will be able to shed more light on the suffering women went through with her lecture "Revealing Washington Women's History through the Study of Undergarments."
