Ethel Granger known all over the world as the owner of the narrowest waist of the 20th century - only 33 cm! She was driven to such a state by the fantasies of her husband, who was obsessed with "wasp" waistlines. To please her husband, Ethel did not take off the corset throughout her life.
Youth Ethel Granger (Ethel granger) came in the 1920s, when shapeless robes were in vogue, and women with short hair looked a little like boys. Ethel was a completely ordinary girl until she married astronomer William Arnold Granger in 1928.
Once, hugging his wife, William expressed a desire to feel her waist in a corset. After a while, Ethel still began to eat less and pulled herself tightly into a corset. The husband was so delighted that he suggested that she not take off the corset 24 hours a day. After much persuasion, Ethel agreed to sleep in it. After a few years, Ethel Granger's waist decreased from 58 to 33 cm, and the woman was included in the Guinness Book of Records.
When Ethel yielded to her husband's persuasion and began to wear a corset, William had new fantasies. The wife had to add insanely high heels to her look and pierce her ears in several places in order to put on several pairs of earrings.
And at the end of the "beautiful" image, the husband pierced Ethel's nose. During this procedure, he blindfolded his wife and pierced the septum between the nostrils with a silver needle. The same was done with the nostrils. It should be noted that all this happened long before the popularity of piercing among young people.
Despite the unnatural manipulations with her body, Ethel Granger lived a rather long life. She died in 1982 at the age of 77.
In 2011, Vogue Italia published an Ethel Granger-style photo shoot. Grotesque pictures with an unnatural waist caused a controversial reaction among modern inhabitants.
