The fedora is a very popular hat. This style trend began during the Victorian years. Actress Sarah Bernhardt wore the hat on stage. She was portraying a Russian princess named Fédora Romanoff. Many women loved her acting and began to wear the hat, too. Sarah Bernhardt was a famous feminist, so the fedora hat became a symbol of feminism during these years.
