Join Author Sarah Bendall as she walks us through the fraught and fascinating history of Women undergarments in our Cocktails and Conversationseries with The Complicated History of the Corset: Facts, Legacies and Misconceptions. Explore this history of corsets, why did they emerge, how were they used to control women and how have they become connected to sexuality and eroticism.
