American Women...

... of yesteryear.

It's interesting to see what people believed made American girls different from those elsewhere 80 years ago.  It was a time when Americans were going overseas to serve in the war and the GIs were observing foreign women and comparing them to the American girls back home.  It came through clearly to them that there was a distinct "something" that made Americans different, we were as separate a people as French and Germans, English and Italians.  Just what was that?

By the way, in those days people spoke of race when nowadays we would speak of nationality.  Thus Norwegians and Irishmen were said to be different races.  Click the pages to enlarge them.




It's hard to believe, looking at the photos, how normal life was in the before times.  Who could have imagined then what a decadent, crime-ridden freak show life in these United States would turn in to.
