The more a society develops, the deeper the changes that take place in it. This applies to many areas of life and concepts. Female ideals and criteria of beauty as a whole did not stand aside.
If we consider modern ideas about female beauty, then they are fundamentally different from those that existed in the past. Nevertheless, each era was famous for its beauties, which will be discussed in this article.
How did ideas about the female ideal change over time
In ancient times, a woman with a muscular body and a small bust, who had a rather wide waist and elastic buttocks, was considered beautiful.
In the future, the canons of beauty changed again, and Queen of Egypt Nefertiti and the Greek goddess Aphrodite were considered her standard.
The period from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance made another amendment to the female ideal, and ladies with magnificent magnificent forms came to the fore, which became real muses of poets and artists.
At the time of Marie Antoinette, naturalness and simplicity were in fashion, and pretty pale women with inexpressive lips were considered to be beautiful women, who allowed themselves the only adornment: a sort of flirty “fly” -spring above the upper lip, and, of course, wore rather bulky wigs.
In the XIX century, obese women continued to hold the palm, as their luxurious forms were perceived as a sign of wealth and motherhood, and thin women, unlike them, were not in demand at all, as they symbolized poverty and disease.
This perception of female beauty continued even after the Second World War, until the fair sex rebelled in the 1960s and won the right to a normal slender body, long hair and a healthy, natural look.

The vast majority were considered beautiful and are now considered to be those who have a toned, slim figure, well-groomed hair and, most importantly, have inner beauty, which, as a rule, is reflected in the appearance.
Now, let's return to the topic of our conversation and look at the photos of the most beautiful women of the 20th century, which combined the beauty of the body with the beauty of the soul.
Men loved them, idolized and worshiped them, and women strove to resemble them in everything. At one time, their names were well-known to everyone, but now they are undeservedly devoted to oblivion.
