The Racist Views of Annette Kellerman

Annette Kellerman also established health spas. She's stridently advocated for women to be encouraged to be fit and active. In 1909, Dr. Dudley Sargent of Harvard had taken the measurements of about 1000 women and compared them to the measurements of the Venus de Milo. He dubbed her the perfect woman - which along with that revere beach arrest became part of her ongoing marketing.
