Looks like she has lots of naturally curly hair. How does she keep that hat on?

I’m not sure if her hair was naturally curly. Wigs were standard still, just not powdered. And there were ways to curl hair (rags/papers and I think tongs). They had hat pins, but I honestly have no clue how that big thing would have stayed on at that angle. I wonder if it’s a big exaggerated by the artist.

She was an amazing woman. I highly recommend Amanda Foreman’s biography of this fascinating woman.

I did see the movie based on her life. Sad story.
