The history of women's diets reflects cultural norms, scientific
discoveries, and societal ideals. Some experts suggest that modern
humans should eat from a Stone Age menu, while in the 1840s,
Sylvester Graham advocated for a plain, abstinent diet for women.
The 1920s saw the rise of the thin, boyish figure as the ideal for
women, while in the 1950s, the focus shifted to minimizing
carbohydrates, and in the 1960s, the emphasis was on low-fat,
low-calorie meals. Today's women's press promotes various diets,
often repackaging older approaches.
