Tuberculosis Chic: The Most Fashionable Disease of the Victorian Era
Manage episode 364269887 series 2935879
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease of historic proportions. Not only is it still around, infecting an estimated 10+million people in 2021 alone, but in a prior era, in Victorian England, having tuberculosis became something of a fashion achievement, believe it or not. In this episode, we'll explore how having this awful and deadly disease--especially in a time before antibiotics--became almost desirable in a twisted way. From corsets to fainting to so much more!
