Overview:

It was in 1914 that Mary Phelps Jacob set women free - from the prison of the corset. With a little help from her lady's maid, this ingenious New York socialite stitched together two handkerchiefs and a long pink ribbon to fashion the world's first-ever brassiere. (Jacob later sold her patent for $1,500 - to a company that went on to make $15 million off her invention.) The rest, as they say, is history - a history that's amply, titillatingly documented by designer Cheree Berry in Hoorah for the Bra.
