"Brimmed: A Celebration of Strength, Style, and Progress" In a world where women were breaking barriers and defying societal norms, the brimmed hat became an emblem of their resilience and determination. From the early days of women's empowerment in the 19th century to the brave pioneers who served as police officers during WW1, these remarkable individuals donned their uniforms with pride. Four early women police officers stand tall in their crisp attire, symbolizing a new era of equality. Tarot Card 11 - La Force (Strength) captures the essence of these trailblazers perfectly. Just like this powerful card depicts a woman taming a lion with her inner strength, these courageous ladies fearlessly faced challenges head-on. The year is 1881; women venture outdoors confidently adorned in fashionable hats that shielded them from both sun rays and judgmental gazes. Muriel Dawson's captivating artwork portrays a little girl playing freely in a garden while wearing her own charming brimmed hat – an innocent reminder that dreams have no boundaries. Traveling across continents brings us to Morocco, where we encounter a Woman of the Mountains proudly displaying her traditional garb topped off by an intricately designed brimmed hat. This image serves as a testament to cultural diversity and celebrates how headwear can be both functional and beautiful. David Wright's iconic illustration showcases another facet of feminine power – confidence expressed through fashion choices. A woman exudes self-assurance as she stuns onlookers in her white bikini paired effortlessly with an elegant wide-brimmed hat – proving that style knows no limits. Fast forward to May 1913 when women's clothing took center stage with its evolving trends. Brimming with sophistication, elegance radiates from every ensemble captured within those pages – each outfit complemented flawlessly by carefully selected hats that added flair to any occasion. Menelik II stands tall as Ethiopia's leader, a symbol of progress and resilience.
