Resumo

A evolução do maiô moderno de um traje de banho pouco lisonjeiro e restritivo para um traje atraente e funcional é traçada desde os tempos coloniais até o presente. Essa evolução no estilo reflete não apenas o crescente envolvimento das mulheres nas atividades aquáticas, mas também as mudanças nas motivações para a participação feminina. A natureza das mudanças de estilo no vestuário aquático foi influenciada pelas modas do período, enquanto as melhorias funcionais foram limitadas pelos padrões predominantes de moral. Essa mutação do traje de banho para o maiô demonstra a mudança de atitude e status das mulheres nos Estados Unidos, da imagem tradicional do "sexo frágil" subordinado para um membro igual e ativo da sociedade.
