The Gender-Bending History of the High Heel

Heels—deemed the epitome of female irrationality and superficiality—went out of fashion for a very, very long time.

When Cowboys Wore Pink

When Cowboys Wore Pink | Cultural History | Scoop.it
From thesocietypages.org - December 16, 2013 10:36 PM

To modern eyes, this is surprising. “Pink is a girls’ color,” we think. This association has become so firmly entrenched in our cultural imagination that people are flabbergasted to learn that until the 1950s, pink was often considered a strong color and, therefore, was associated with boys.

Pyramid-Age Love Revealed in Vivid Color in Egyptian Tomb

Pyramid-Age Love Revealed in Vivid Color in Egyptian Tomb | Cultural History | Scoop.it
From www.livescience.com - November 18, 2013 3:59 AM
She was a priestess named Meretites, and he a singer named Kahai, who performed at the pharaoh's palace. They lived in an age when pyramids were being built in Egypt, and their love is reflected in a highly unusual scene in their tomb.
Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

Such a display of affection was extraordinary for Egypt during this time -- and the work of art, along with other finding in the tomb, suggest that women in Egypt's Pyramid Age enjoyed a greater level of equality than previously thought.
