Women’s Racing Suits in Early 20th Century

Women’s swimming suits for competition seem to have always been controversial.

Fox Film production still photograph from the lost silent film "Queen of the Sea" (1918) featuring Annette Kellerman and co-star seaside.

An Australian professional swimmer, vaudeville star, film actress, and writer, Kellerman was one of the first women to wear a one-piece bathing costume, instead of the then-accepted pantaloons. And she inspired others to follow her example. She appeared in several movies, usually with aquatic themes, and as the star of the 1916 film "A Daughter of the Gods" was the first major actress to appear nude in a Hollywood production.
