A Large Group of Female Civilians Posing for Photos, 1931. 'After all the mannish horrors of the twenties, a return to the strictly feminine. For the boys a very welcome change indeed. The girls no longer tried to look boyish, thank heaven, but did everything to emphasise their sex. The sale of cosmetics boomed. For every lipstick sold ten years before, now 1500 were being disposed of'. From "Time To Remember - A New Era", 1931 (Reel 2); documentary about the world in the early 1930s.
