I have always been fascinated with how cultures of the world have treated females. From prehistory until today, different cultures have had radically different views on woman. In America, woman have more control over their destiny than in many other countries. Even with so much control there is still a lot of pressure placed on them to look and act a certain way.

Mainstream America's idea of beauty has evolved greatly over the years. Thanks to the technological wonders of picture, movies, and the internet you can view this change without much effort.

The folks at greatist.com have created some great infographics that depict this change over the past 100 years.
