I would have loved this as a child. Great idea!

In 1910, 22-year-old Mary Phelps Jacob faced a simple but frustrating problem: her corset ruined the look of her new evening gown.
So she grabbed two silk handkerchiefs, some ribbon, and a bit of imagination — and stitched together something entirely new. Light, soft, and flexible. The world’s first modern bra.
Her friends wanted one too. Soon, she patented her “backless brassiere” in 1914 and sold the rights for $1,500 to the Warner Brothers Corset Company. They went on to make millions, but Mary didn’t regret it.
Because her life was just beginning.
She moved to Paris, married poet Harry Crosby, and reinvented herself as Caresse Crosby. Together, they founded the Black Sun Press, which published early works by Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, and Anaïs Nin — giving voice to a new generation of writers.
Her invention gave women freedom and comfort.
Her art gave writers freedom of expression.
And her life proved that creativity — in any form — can change the world.
