Gunda Beeg

Gunda Beeg *(1858-1913) was one of the founding members of the women's dress reform movement in late 19th early 20th century Germany. Her father was the director of the Kunstgewerbe, Nuremberg Museum of Industrial Arts, and her mother was the founder of the School for Women's Work in Nuremberg. It is in said school that Beeg attained all her training.

The German telephone and postal service employed over 25,000 women in their organization. These women were expected to wear a blouse as part of their mandatory uniform, which, due to its design, required them to wear corsets underneath.
