Mignon Good Eberhart - 1931 - ‎Fiction
Creating a woman who is harder-boiled than the male, it seems to me, is no
great proof of independent thinking - no more, certainly, than the
brilliant feminist idea of a few years back that women ought to wear
jockey shorts.
If you find it comfortable, then by all means do it.asual research -
Googled an ad in the Ladies Home Journal, April 1931 - indicates that, in
1931, women's loins were begirt in a garment only trivially distinct from a
pair of *boxer* shorts.

Youneverknow.
