RE: Historical Cosmo Girls
....and redheads were considered to be "undesirable" and "unfortunate" in the Victorian era. Remember the 1890s fiery tempered redheaded heroine, "Anne Shirley" of Anne of Green Gables and her attempt to dye her hair?
Earlier in medieval times, redheads (or "Gingers" as the Brits call them) were thought to be witches, vampires and ghouls! Strangely enough, redheads were seemingly extremely popular in Pre-Raphaelite paintings, influenced in part by artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti's flame haired model and later wife, Elizabeth Siddal.
