Ramsbrock, Annelie
- Abstract
The article traces the history of cosmetology from the late eighteenth to the mid-twentieth centuries. Using this example, the author seeks to illustrate how ideals of personal beauty in Western societies were constructed and underwent changes over time. She discusses several aspects of this history, including the emergence of cosmetology from the medical sciences and concerns about hygiene, the history of cosmetic surgery in Germany, and reconstructive and corrective surgery as a kind of social medicine.
