EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of transformation as a woman sits in a beauty salon, having her hair permed. Taken by an anonymous European photographer in the 19th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The photograph showcases the timeless pursuit of beauty and self-care that women have engaged in throughout history. It serves as an illustration for the book "Women of all Lands, Their Charm, Culture and Characteristics" edited by Rosita Forbes and published in 1935. In this era marked by progress and social change, women were beginning to embrace their freedom and challenge traditional gender roles. Beauty treatments like hairdressing offered them not only physical transformations but also opportunities for pampering themselves. As we gaze at this historic image, we are reminded of how hairstyles reflect societal norms and cultural shifts. The intricate curls created through perming machines symbolize both personal style choices and broader ideas about femininity during the early 20th century. This photograph invites us to appreciate the artistry involved in hairstyling while also recognizing its significance within the context of liberation movements for women. It stands as a testament to our ongoing quest for self-expression through beauty rituals that transcend time.
