"Gibson Girl" had dignity, a quality woman. She read dignified historical novels like "To Have and To Hold" and "When Knighthood Was in Flower". She was an aristocrat and a sticlker for gallant behavior. Her appearance was proud and haughty, suggesting that she was a prize worth make some effort to win. Her clothing covered her from neck to heels but without any suggestion of puritanism, Gibson Girl had no stomach at all.
In 1901, when Anna Taylor went over Niagara Falls in a barrel, and Carry Nation sold miniature hatchets in the Senate gallery, the "Gibson Girl" saw these revolutionary gestures as what they were - symptons of neurosis and impending decline.

Ken Burns should do a doc on Gibson & his contemporaries like James Montgomery Flagg.
