The American pinup girl is an iconic figure in American art history during the 1930s and 1940s. She was sassy, curvy, cute, innocent, and sexy all at the same time. I personally love the American pinup girl and what she represents, and I have grown quite appreciative of old pinup paintings. As a feminist in an era where women are pressured to look, dress, and act a certain way; women are told to be innocent yet sexually experienced; and where women are told to be proud of their bodies, but not too proud; it’s important for me to express my love for the pin up girl
