Most women have a sort of love/hate relationship with their bras. Velya Jancz-Urban and Ehris Urban of Grounded Goodwife have discovered that it’s more like a hate/hate relationship. In their presentation “Booby-Trapped: The Bra in America, which will be presented on Zoom through the Chilmark and Vineyard Haven libraries on Tuesday, March 16, they cite the results of a 2014 survey of 3,000 women: “Ninety-two percent rated their bra ‘an enemy. I wish I had never met her.’”
