Beauty and Death: The Historical Price of Loveliness

Take a community class at St. Norbert College.

Description: From arsenic to white lead, from corsets to platform shoes humans have a long history of chasing beauty at the price of health. This talk will cover the many, many ways people have tried to be gorgeous, but destroyed themselves in the process. Led by April Beiswenger, SNC associate professor of Theatre Studies and departmental scenographer.
