The history of womens emancipation has been mirrored in their underwear from corset to wonderbra. Over the past 150 years underwear has changed from being a set of purely functional garments to become a symbol of female empowerment and sexuality. Helen Murray finds out just what was going on underneath those skirts beginning with the corset which began its decline in the 1910s, right through wasp waists, no bra, power-dressing, and underwire to todays have it all world.
