The History of Breasts

Thanks to National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we've run marathons, read books, and purchased products to fight the illness. As October winds down, we thought we'd take one more opportunity to discuss how important our breasts are by revisiting their storied history. Whether we've tried to get rid of them using chest flatteners in the 1920s, witnessed "Nipplegate" in 2004, or taken part in the evolution of bras, their significance hasn't drooped one bit.
