- **Event Name**: Lecture - Hidden Layers: Women's Undergarments and They've Shaped Ladies' Liberties
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 29 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Thu, 29 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Women’s underwear has long reflected society’s views on modesty, femininity, and beauty. From historic styles that restricted the female form to the more liberating fashions of today, women’s undergarments have been symbols of both oppression and empowerment.

In this talk, explore how comfort, freedom, and function in women’s undergarments mirrored broader social changes. We ask why there were so many people throughout history who had their panties in a bunch over the drawers in women’s drawers. And we pull back the layers of satin and silk to see how the evolution of women’s underwear parallels our ongoing struggle for gender equality.
