“In the first photograph we see the policeman Bill Norton measuring the distance between the knee and the skirt of a young woman on a beach, because there was an order of the authorities so that the length of skirts and shorts were no more than six centimeters above the knee.”

“Look at the second photograph, what happened to women who disobeyed the rules, they were arrested and loaded into the van before a crowd of men. We were in 1922”
