Maud Temple, English Bearded Lady

Maud Temple, a bearded lady at Pickard's Waxwork exhibition, Glasgow, 1910. She was a popular 'bearded lady' who made appearances in England and Australia. A relatively small number of women are able to grow enough facial hair to have a distinct beard. In some cases, female beard growth is the result of a hormonal imbalance (usually androgen excess), or a rare genetic disorder known as hypertrichosis. Sometimes it is caused by use of anabolic steroids. Cultural pressure leads most to remove it, as it may be viewed as a social stigma. Bearded ladies were, and still are, a staple of a carnival sideshow.
