REMEMBER WHEN: 1900–1909
From Corsets to Chaos: A Decade That Dressed Like a Painting and Felt Like a Draft
Step into the soot-streaked dawn of the 20th century—a time when corsets crushed ribs, hats featured entire ecosystems (small birds, rats, teacups—sometimes all three), and progress clattered by on horse-drawn optimism. Cities swelled, inventions sparked, and polite society quietly panicked as everything they knew started to unravel—lace first.
This isn't your average history book. It's a brisk, brutally funny, and occasionally heartfelt tour through the first decade of modern madness—told with equal parts sarcasm, sincerity, and the faint smell of coal smoke.
From vaudeville stars and miracle tonics to suffragettes, silent films, and mustaches with moral authority, Remember When: 1900–1909 captures a world wobbling between Victorian rigidity and the reckless birth of the modern age. It's the decade that gave us flight, Freud, and the fine art of pretending everything was fine.
Perfect for history lovers with a sense of humor, reluctant students, curious time travelers, or anyone who's ever wondered how the century began with corsets and candlelight... and somehow ended up with the Titanic and a hangover called progress.
