Bloomers!

In the 1850s, women wore tight corsets, four layers of petticoats, and long, heavy dresses. Then Libby Miller visited the small town of Seneca Falls wearing a costume tht shocked everyone. Her ballooning trousers let her walk about freely and even go hiking without tripping over her skirt. Libby Miller's bloomers were adopted soon by women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Amelia Bloomer, and Susan B. Anthony, suffragettes whose crusades for women's rights would change the lives of all Americans.
