The female leg is an erotic oddity: non-genital- and nearly identical in structure to the male limb- there is no obvious reason why it should be eroticized. Yet through much of history- across many cultures- the female leg was kept covered and treated as taboo- until it became an object of sexual obsession. In Victorian times- the word ‘leg’ was forbidden in polite society- lest gentlemen be driven wild with lust. Even now- 80 years after women’s legs finally came out of hiding- their allure remains mysterious and powerful. The third in Dian Hanson’s wildly successful series on erotic body parts explores how the female leg became central to women’s emacipation- from the French Revolution to the sexual revolution. Over 400 photos document the first burlesque shows of the 1800s- the silk-stockinged flappers of the ’20s- the nylon-mania of the ’40s- the dawn of the stiletto in the ’50s- and the golden age of leg magazines in the ’60s.
