Notes & Literature: Evelyn Nesbit was a model and actress who rose to fame during the early 1900s, around the same time as the Gibson Girl, a cultural icon created by illustrator Charles Dana Gibson. The Gibson Girl was a feminine ideal that embodied the characteristics of the modern, independent woman, and was widely popularized through Gibson's illustrations in magazines such as Life and Collier's Weekly.
Nesbit herself was known for her beauty and was often photographed in Gibson Girl-style poses, becoming one of the most famous models of the era. Her image helped to define the Gibson Girl look, which typically included a tall, slender figure with an S-shaped curve, long flowing hair, and a confident, independent demeanor.
