Between carrying around all that hair and the weight of the hats I'd be curious to know if women's neck bones between the 1890s and 1920s showed unusual changes.
Also now that I think about it my grandma was obsessed with my posture as a kid. I had to learn to walk and sit balancing the dictionary on my head. She was born in the 20s so she missed having to wear this but I wonder if it was a holdover that got handed down. Maybe everybody was actually teaching their girls to balance ridiculous hats.

Learning to balance a dictionary was a tactic to give ladies poise and confidence ...they were taught in refinishing [external link] was a thing ,in that era .
I think they do absolutely nothing to enhance the look of these women and more perhaps towards a stress headache to come by wearing them .
Kathryn Schwartz . It was trending . And they were photographed- masses or not . There was never an era when people didn’t want to appear fashionable or one where their choices weren’t examined , including today . And this: I would find it hard to believe that not a one of us hasn’t donned something impractical, subject to critique . I’ve got pictures a plenty with the wild teased out hair that leaves me aghast . Anyone that says it looked good , is frankly being kind but is lying . Lastly there was a prompt at the top of this display that asked : what do you think of these hats ? So I’m assuming the opinion was solicited and my chiming -in was acceptable? I apologize if it was only meant to be rhetorical !
Anna Kakol What you wrote is fine. Having spent hours to scan and post hundreds of photos of people I don't know in hope they'd get connected with someone who wanted them, I seem to be more sensitive to criticism of the people in the photographs than I would of my own family. Heck, maybe it is supposed to be a funny picture and the family would laugh along with the comments. Thank you for writing a nice response to my comment.
Carrying a cross in biblical terms. Also a cross dresser😐. That's a dude. Look at the arms and hands, and adams apple😮.
Hats are always cool...what really interests Me is the caption...say What? What sort of crash? Car? Stock market?
Andrea Snedden i think you may be right.... this might be an example of early Drag! Something just seems a little ‘off’ about them and not quite feminine.
I'm the person who found these photos and my goal in spending hours scanning and posting to AncientFaces is to connect these photos with descendants who want them and I think it is important to do it in a way that is respectful of their ancestors. Thank you for looking!

Well, I was talking about the hats, not the people. But since you asked, here is a photo of my great-grandmother wearing a doozy of a hat! 😁 c1907
Victoria Gus Michaels--That's hilarious! & if we are mentioning physical oddities...notice the poor thing also seems to have a goiter.
Victoria....I'm glad I wasn't drinking something when I read that!!!!🤣😂
You're on to something...that's a adams apple😐look at their hands and arms etc. That's a dude😮, hence the cry-ptic message on the back of the pic. Hmmmm
Andrea Snedden I also thought this looked like a wedding picture. First LGBT wedding?
Victoria Gus Michaels The broad? The women. Just be happy you didn’t live then!!! It was the best they had!
Well Victoria, it's either that, or the scarlet letter😐. I guess it could be both. Idk.
We're only saying what we see. Joan of arc dressed like a man for warrior reasons. A man could have dressed like a lady for whatever reason. That's my take. Not making fun of them.
Paula Robare I was just playing....the broad. Lol. I thought it was funny.
George Ann Watson no no no....I get extra FB points if I make you spit when you read.
Boorish comment on someone's ancestors. Perhaps you'd like to share a photo of yours?
Not laughing. What's your problem? The one on the right is a dude look at the hands. Read the message on the back of the pic.
