Corsets were so constricting that ladies often collapsed while wearing them!
But here's the twist...
It was thought that fainting while wearing a corset was a good thing! It was seen as a sign of excellent breeding.

They are the reason why most individuals never reach their full potential.
Most people aren't ignorant; they simply don't know how to see biases and fallacies.
That is why we decided to write this book. You'll find the following inside:
