Immediately after world war 2, the French people cut hair of French women who had relationships with Nazi soldiers and humiliated them. Some of these women were raped by Nazis. These pictures remain from those sad memories. [...] In addition, many of the women whose heads were shaved came from the more vulnerable corners of French society: A large portion were prostitutes, others young mothers who accepted relations with German soldiers as a means to provide for their families while their husbands were away. Others still were single school teachers who had been bullied into providing lodging for Germans. At least 20,000 women had their heads shaved during what came to be known as the "ugly carnivals," with the misogynistic practice being replicated in Belgium, Italy, Norway, and the Netherlands.
