Braless Fridays - UI Podcast #261
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of a woman's decision to go braless in 1969, which led to significant social and legal repercussions.
In 1969, a casual coffee-break joke about going braless cost a woman her job, sparked nationwide headlines, inspired copycat events across the country, and eventually wound up in court. That's exactly what happened to Jane Andre—all because of an undergarment.
