By Halley Brown Verified| MSN (US) Verified When flight attendants, known as stewardesses at the time, first took flight in the 1930s, the profession became a token of glamour. Unlike other jobs open to women at the time, like teaching or secretarial work, stewardesses had a unique opportunity to travel the world and meet new people thousands of feet in the air. While the position provided exciting opportunities for working women, it also capitalized on the bodies of these women to benefit the airline industry.
