About this listen

Maya Chen examines the corset as a centuries-long social con, drawing on fashion historian Valerie Steele's groundbreaking work. She reveals how women reshaped their bodies to signal wealth and status they often didn't possess, benefiting fathers, suitors, and class hierarchies more than themselves—and how similar mechanisms operate today.
