Huge collection of women's mags (1890-1930s)- The Gender and Women's Studies Collection
U. of Wisconsin ^

Sorry, there is no main body associated with this thread, just links that don't work when I post them here. But... the original U. of Wisc. source url above ( http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/GenderStudies/GenderStudies-idx?scope=GenderStudies.DovieHorvitz&type=browse ) does have links that seem to work. Besides, they have a rather ominous copyright warning at the end that I wouldn't want FR or me to run afoul [of]!

Thought this might be of interest to some? Sorry for the leftist baloney (what can we expect out of the U. of Wisc.?), but there are other things here: history, health, fashion, etc.

Cue cartoon where woman walks on stage, horn blares, and men in audience whistles and hit themselves over the head with a mallet while eyes are bugging out.

Thanks for posting this. It’s good to know that these serials have been digitized and made available online. In these times, when many libraries are aggressively weeding their collections, such materials can be exceedingly difficult to find.

That’s the beauty of the net. History can’t be erased.

"I just found some 1920’s dresses that were in my mother in laws trunk...trying to figure out what to do with them."

Sadly, probably nothing. My sister has a dress from the 1700s (family heirloom), in really good condition. She tried to donate it to some museums and none wanted it. Apparently, all already have too many. Interestingly, the opposite is true of men's clothes. According to one curator, women wear for fashion, so when a dress goes out of style, the old clothes get put away. Men just wear their clothes out.

I absolutely love those Tex Avery (and Warner Brothers) cartoons.

Melania would look good in that. (Pick one).

The mother lode of Looney Tunes and other classic cartoons. Some go back to the 1920s.

Amazing stuff. A few clicks and I am reading an article from 1916 about how to make soap.

By the Waters of Babylon

A great classic sci-fi story!

"By the Waters of Babylon" is a post-apocalyptic short story by American writer Stephen Vincent Benét, first published July 31, 1937, in The Saturday Evening Post as "The Place of the Gods".

Care revealing to us why you find that particular cover to be a "stand-out?"

Hard to say exactly why, I am not an artist.

The colors I guess. It’s also a solo lady.

You would think that some Hollywood wardrobe department would want them, if only as templates for what 1920’s period fashion looked like.

That's alright. Sometimes I, too, simply have the need to announce to the world that "I like cheese."
