INSECURITIES: Every year, women spend billions of dollars in exchange for beautiful hair, luxurious eyelashes, and smooth, silky skin. Still, many of our culture’s most common beauty procedures were virtually nonexistent a century ago. The truth is, many of our expectations of feminine beauty were shaped in large part by modern advertisers. We’ve tracked the history behind some of the most common “flaws” that besiege the modern woman and the surprising stories behind their “cures.”
Here are seven insecurities women have been fed by marketers:

Have you ever wondered about the political significance of the shape of your head? In the 1890s, anthropologists were so fixated on the shape of heads that a critic described anthropology as a skull-measuring business operated by anatomists who thought they could solve the problem of human origin and evolution. TCD established a skull-measuring laboratory in 1891 and researchers began measuring heads in the Aran Islands in 1892, using techniques that are used in facial recognition technologies today.

THALIDOMIDE: This blog is published as part of Disability History Month (22 November to 22 December 2019).
Thalidomide was one of the worst man-made medical disasters in history and had far-reaching medical and social consequences. Manufactured by the German company Chemie-Grünenthal and licensed for sale in 79 countries under 49 different brand names, the drug thalidomide gave rise to the birth of more than 10,000 babies born worldwide with deformities in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The wide-ranging impairments included limb damage, absence of limbs, and damage to the nervous system and internal organs.
Disturbingly marketed as ‘free from untoward side-effects’, thalidomide was licensed for sale by Distillers (Biochemicals) Ltd in the UK and was sold under the names Distaval, Asmaval, Tensival, Valgis and Valgraine. It was prescribed by NHS and private doctors between April 1958 and November 1961, during which time it was used primarily as a sedative and given to pregnant woman to relieve the symptoms of morning sickness.
