Melanie McDonagh: The bra is not just a fashion item, it has been a feminist gamechanger, London Evening Standard

When Gita Peller, a Hungarian immigrant, and Bertha Rigby, a Molton Street corsetiere, first set up in business in 1939 as London’s premiere brassiere sellers they can’t have anticipated quite the phenomenon they set off.
