Paper Summary:
This paper discusses that modern plastic surgery has its origins in World War I as physicians attempted to return, to some degree of wholeness, the many soldiers who were so terribly mutilated. This paper focuses on plastic surgery with examples of nose and breast reshaping. The author feels that plastic surgery was used mostly not to express women's essential freedom and modernity but to try to please the men in their lives who still had substantial power over them.From the Paper:
"But, it was even more controversial when performed for cosmetic reasons especially when it was performed on women. Women were gaining a great deal of social, political and economic power in the 1920s " spurred by their having gained the franchise in 1920 " and the look of the Flapper as the modern woman was seen as threatening to many. Bobbed hair, bobbed skirts and bobbed noses seemed to many people all to be symptoms of the too-great power that women were gaining in society."More papers on Plastic Surgery in the 1920's:
