When we imagine the Edwardian Era, most of us probably imagine the Gibson Girl-- the famous character created by Charles Dana Gibson that became one of America's first beauty standards popularized by mass media. But there's more to the Gibson Girl than just beauty; feminism, racism and more are part of her legacy too. Come learn with me!

I have a picture of my great great grandmother who was in her 20s during the 1910s and she dressed exactly like this, it definitely surprised me when I first saw it because she was of Native American descent.

Padding: My Mother was born in 1918 and raised by her paternal grandmother. Grandma Genny was a Classic Victorian Woman born around 1872. Anyway, regarding padding, my Mother would say, "What God has forgotten, replace with cotton!"

This made me realize, the schoolteacher in Over The Garden Wall is absolutely a Gibson Girl! Or at least she seems like one to me. Which is a pretty cool nod to history and makes sense due to the various ages of Americana we see featured in the show.

I love that quote from the girl who tried to imitate a Gibson girl. Roleplayed her way into getting run over by a car lmao

The Gibson girl seemed to have had affect down south in Mexico, I have a series of family photos from 1890-1925 and there's this one photo of my great tĂ­a from around 1900-ish where she's posed similar to 15:45, with similar clothes, except she had a chicken perched on her arm like a parrot on a pirate's arm. It's one of my favourite family photos.

My great-aunt was a hat model of the Gibson Girl prototype in St. Paul, Minnesota. I have several sepia-toned portraits of her dressed in this style. She was exceptionally striking and quite the drama queen. I remember visiting her home as a child in the 1950’s and being honored with full access to her dress-up clothing, jewels, and accessories. Along with her Gibson Girl wardrobe she also had a grand collection of elegant Flapper ensembles. I thought she was the cat’s meow. Everyone else in the family hated her except her sweet, younger sister (my maternal grandmother). Thank you for this wonderful video!

As a lesbian, it was Gibson girl aesthetic characters that were my first crushes as a young kid. Something about the hair, the silhouette, the slight smile, was just so captivatingly beautiful to me that I couldn’t look away, and didn’t know why. I know why now ❤ Amazing video as always Kaz!

It is interesting how the corset which was once an undergarment is now a fashion accessory that is worn on the outside

As a chronic illness person I laughed out loud when you explained that you wanted to do a detailed dive in on Mabel Normand and your chronic illnesses said “you need to stop” story of my life. I hope you’re feeling better soon!!

I love this video. :) On why so many famous Gibson girls didn't have happy endings: I tend to subscribe to the journalist Michael Hobbes' description of fame as a form of abuse. The constant scrutiny and impossible standards, especially when applied to someone still developing their adult identity, can be profoundly damaging. And, well, profoundly damaged people often get damaged some more. Take Evelyn Nesbit; she never had a good, caring support system, ended up trading on her beauty because she believed it was all she had, and found herself the target of multiple predators. It's not really surprising that things got worse from there. Some people beat the odds, but most don't; it's why they're the odds. I don't know about all Gibson's models, but I do know that women who sought work as artist's models in this period often lacked support systems and turned to modeling because they had no better options. It wasn't the sort of thing wealthy girls did for fun, and middle-class girls with good prospects were less likely to endanger their reputations by engaging in it. That left girls who were choosing between modeling and something like factory labor, service work, or something further down the social ladder like s*x work. Of course, modeling was easier and less demeaning than those options ... and of course, they were less able to defend themselves against abuse than women with more resources who wouldn't be modeling in the first place. The same thing happens in entertainment today. Take someone desperate, make them famous, and throw them to the wolves...tale as old as time. Or at least as old as the industrial revolution in media.

First thing we learned in literature and culture studies is to never read a text with ‘modern eyes’. I think that was a very important advice. I find it cute that his views on the ‘perfect woman’ was his wife.

My great grandmother was born in the 19th century, though she would never tell anyone exactly when. She lived with us when I was a teenager, in the 60's, and I got a close look at her personal habits. When I was introduced to the work of Charles Dana Gibson, I realized that the hairdo that my great-grandmother wore until the bitter end was the updo that Gibson's girls wore. Imagine the effort that she put in during her lifetime, maintaining that youthful style.

I am 70 and was fascinated by the Gibson girl. I did enjoy this very much! Thank you!

You can definitely still see the Gibson girl in art today. The tired eyes and messy hair, I’ve noticed, are a staple in many artists art styles today, including my own. In that way I think the Gibson girl has had her third revival as I’ve seen it often in the last few months. Though she’s lost her fashion her cadence and strength is definitely still prevalent.

Love the Snappy Dragon shoutout. And so glad you exposed the manipulation of Camille Clifford's images. It gets tiring pointing out the obvious brushwork around her waist.

The Chicago Girl is a queen. She could have been a contender - a journalist, a craftsman architect, a Belle Epoch Jane Austen with sass. Say.... how great would it be if someone created a compendium of fantastic 'every gal' accounts like this one? That's a book I would read many times over.

I became aware of Gibson and its girls from an early age because my mom always took us to museums or art expositions, so I saw reproductions of Gibson's art but not originals since I'm from Mexico. Especially since my mom loves those illustrations too and also because I draw. Making me to be always looking to many different styles of art. So yeah, I'm a fan of Gibson amazing illustrations though I never got hooked up on the fashion. But his technique... My goodness. Love that drawing technique.
