�The Progress of Bloomerism or A Complete Change�, 1852.
ENGLAND - JUNE 19: Satirical cartoon attacking the fashion for women to wear bloomers. Role reversal is taken to extreme lengths, men are left holding babies and an elderly man gently remonstrates with a small girl for smoking, while the women act and speak like men. �Drawers�, or long undergarments, first appeared in England around 1825 and were swiftly labelled �an abominable invention which produces disorders in abundance�. Pantaloons, later called pantalettes, were also introduced at this time. Bloomers, which appeared in the early 1850s, were associated with the American reformer Amelia Bloomer. They consisted of a knee-length dress over a pair of caftan-style trousers. From the magazine �Punch�. (Photo by SSPL/Getty Images)
