- 1. The Origins of the Public Baths
As public bathing became popular in the nineteenth century, men and women were usually segregated, so that no one of the opposite sex might catch sight of the other in their bathing suit - an outfit considered somewhat immodest. Bathing machines introduced a little privacy on beaches. The practice of segregated swimming continued well into the twentieth century.
