But we should learn from the best and brightest. We definitely shouldn’t feel obliged to put on frilly dresses and be subservient to men like many stereotypical socialites. This showed us that we can direct our lives as we please, whether we live by society’s standards or not. She had nine husbands and was unapologetic about it. The same goes for socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor. She made women feel better about their bodies, which is something she wouldn’t be able to do if she didn’t have such widespread exposure.
Her outfits left little to the imagination, yet she was still accepted by the public. She rose to fame because of her provocative dance routines, which were few and far between at the time. Josephine Baker is arguably the best example of this. With the rise of the 1950s socialite came the rise of the eventual self-expression of females. 3 We Learn That It’s Okay To Express Our Sexuality She was notorious for making sure that her hotel guests had the best experience possible. While she married many wealthy men, she became one the most well-known hoteliers of the time. Despite earning the nickname “Queen of Mean” she built a very successful career for herself. She spent 25 years writing, producing countless finished works. Many socialites have built successful empires for themselves.Īnne Morrow Lindbergh, wife of renowned pilot Charles Lindbergh, was an incredibly successful writer and journalist. She set an example for future socialites, showing that you can be pretty and smart. Jackie showed America that socialites didn’t have to be stupid. We learn from women like Jackie O that it’s possible to enjoy the finer things in life, but also have the ambition to pursue your passions. Jackie was her husband JFK’s biggest supporter, encouraging him to write his well-known book Profiles in Courage. She even wrote in her high school yearbook that her goal wasn’t “to be a housewife.” But that wasn’t considered the most interesting thing about her. She was one of the most renowned and respected of socialites. You may be thinking: What could we possibly have to learn from women whose lives were based around fitting the stereotype of the perfect, feminine woman? But these famous American socialites - many of whom lived in New York at the time - were not as flawless as they were defined by society.Īs outdated as that idea of the “ideal woman” is, there are things we can learn from these famous 1950s socialites.
