          Ethel Granger

          British body modification pioneer

          Ethel Granger (born Ethel Mary Wilson; 12 April 1905 – 1982) was one of the most famous main figures in the development of contemporary piercing and body modification in Europe.[1] As world record holder with the narrowest documented waist size, she entered the Guinness Book of Records with a waist circumference of only 13 inches.[2]

          Life

          As a young woman, Ethel met astronomer[3] William Arnold Granger (1 July 1904 – 4 March 1974),[4] whom she married in 1928.

          The marriage produced a daughter, Wilhelmina Granger (1930-2001). Her husband required that she wear a corset so that she would have a narrow waist.

          Ethel Granger holds the record for having the smallest waist in the world.

          She wore it day and night, eventually cinching her waist to a circumference of 33 centimeters.

          Her husband's fetishism led him to start piercing Ethel himself. Thus, in the following years, she received several piercings from her husband in her nose, lips, cheeks and nipples.[
