and what was she thinking? What posesed her to do so? You know back then she must have been presumed as quite the rebel. But now look, its been a tradition for centuries to the point that its wrong not to!

Not really, by the time razors were invented, Plucking hair was well established.
Ancient Greeks actually had their hair individually plucked out!!
Can you imagine!!

I don't know about legs, but I do know that Marilyn Monroe was the first woman (at least she is credited as such) to shave under her arms. In a movie she raised her arms up and there was no hair. Woman ran out buying up razors to shave. I would venture a wild guess that maybe Marilyn was also the first to shave her legs.

I'd beat that woman down if I only met her...thats the most stupid thing which we women have to do as a means of beauty. I understand the genitals or the underarm for hygienic reasons but the legs...god! thats terribly useless and meaningless..
I fear the possibility that it was a man to put such an idea on her mind sparing himself from that brilliant suggestion....we always have to shape ourselves into something we are not, for some reasons whilst man never have to do anything of that kind. I really hate this..it is a "man's world"

There is evidence of women shaving as "cavemen" at the dawn of Cro-Magnon man. It seems that they rather painfully used sharp stone knives to scrape the hair away and some plucked. Makes those cheap disposable razors seem like a luxury.

Isn't that something? I'll bet she had very dark, thick hair and liked to wear short skirts. I know it became much more popular in the 1920s, when knee-length skirts and the safety razor came out simultanously. And in Middle Eastern cultures (remember, dark thick hair), women have "sugared" or waxed for centuries.

I don't no who the women was. Did she work in a circus as the beaded lady and wanted her hair to grow to the depths of being like and ape.
I really thought it was a male who wanted the female look of nice legs.

She was thinking: "I've got some spare moments so I'm going to make myself beautiful". What's wrong with shaving the legs?
