Etymology

The word 'bloomer' has its origins in the 19th century, directly associated with women's fashion and the fight for women's rights. It is named after Amelia Bloomer, an American women's rights advocate who promoted a more practical style of clothing for women, which included the bloomer-style trousers. These trousers were intended as a comfortable alternative to the heavy, restrictive skirts and corsets of the time. Bloomers gained popularity among early feminists and were often worn during women's rights events, symbolizing liberation from traditional gender norms. Despite their decline in general fashion, the term has persisted in language and gardening contexts, referring to plants that bloom abundantly, showcasing their beautiful flowers.
