Hey mate here is your answer》》
Many women believed in the ideals of womanhood. The ideals were
in the air they breathed, the literature they read, the education they had received at school and at home. From childhood they grew up to believe that having a small waist was a womanly duty. Suffering pain was essential to being a woman. To be seen as attractive, to be
womanly, they had to wear the corset. The torture and pain this inflicted on the body was to be accepted as normal. But not everyone accepted these values. Over the nineteenth century, ideas changed. By the 1830s, women in England began agitating for democratic rights. As the suffrage movement developed, many began campaigning for dress reform. Women’s magazines described how tight dresses and corsets caused deformities and illness among young.
