Artifact Overview
Flight attendants assist with airline passengers' safety and comfort. Airlines once exclusively hired young unmarried women for these jobs, and uniforms tended to be form-fitting with impractical accessories like white gloves and high-heeled shoes. Diane Beers wore this uniform as a TWA flight attendant in 1965. U.S. courts and regulators abolished age, gender and marital-status requirements starting in 1968.
