Why did Renaissance women say the Lord's prayer while removing pubic hair?


If you're like us you definitely want to know the answer to this, and so much more about beauty culture during the Italian Renaissance between the 15th and 17th centuries.


Joining Kate today is Professor Jill Burke, author of How to be a Renaissance Woman: The Untold History of Beauty and Female Creativity, to help us find out if beauty culture was oppressive to women, or empowering.


Edited: Tom Delargy. Producer: Stuart Beckwith. Senior Producer: Charlotte Long.
