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 in their body was to be accepted by all.

They obeyed the harsh norms imposed on them as they are told from their childhood that women must follow those norms as they are born female. This passed on for several generations and eventually became normal. Chastity, appearance was strictly followed/imposed on/by women. AnyOne who opossum are silently suppressed and are called "not feminine". Hope this helped:)
