Today we're exploring the history of beauty standards and how women, in particular, have been susceptible to living up to those standards. Women's inherent value originally came from their beauty and their ability to have children, which we did explore in our previous episodes. This obviously gets propagated into women making themselves look more beautiful and younger, and redefining based on their age and race, which we'll kind of get into a little bit later here. So looking at our history, and looking at women in particular, throughout this history, their beauty has been placed above their well-being as been placed above the perception of how they see themselves, as well as inclusivity of their body types throughout the ages.
