In the above photograph which was taken in 1907, Annette Kellerman was promoting a woman’s
right to wear a one-piece bathing suit. And because of it, she was arrested for
indecent exposure. This made me wonder about the possible reactions of the people of that era if they were able, back then, to have a glimpse of today's bathing suits as shown in the two photographs below. I guess the old, conservative people of the past would have most probably suffered mass heart attacks.
Conversely, I also wondered what the reactions of the people in the 1907 era would have done if a couple of women in that era had woken up one day to wear the 21st Century "styles" of bikinis as the women in these other photographs have done? I believe the women would most probably have been stoned or shot to death.
