I was at my salon today getting a cut, color and eyebrow wax and my stylist brought me a magazine to read while I was under the dryer waiting for my color to set. Anyway, it was the issue of "Allure" magazine from November 2010. I flipped through and found an article about how Androgny has played a role in history from Greek Mythology to films made in the 1970's. It cited several historical examples of how women have lived as men to be treated better in the societies of the times in which they lived. The word "Tomboy" was first used in the 15th century to describe unruly boys and then a century later, it was finally being used to describe girls who were wild. They talked about a study done in Britain in 2002 that followed a group of girls from birth until 15 years of age. It was found that girls who were Tomboys were born that way because their mother's had higher Testosterone levels than other women whose daughters were feminine. Virgina Woolf was mentioned as stating that a good writer had to have an androgynous mind to create characters with depth. It talked about how some of her charcters were based on people she knew. Anyway, I just thought it was an interesting article to some of us here.
