Summary
The history of nudity begins with its acceptance and prevalence in various societies, such as ancient Egypt and Greece, where it was part of everyday life, including sports and education. The Renaissance era saw a resurgence in the acceptance of nudity, which continued to evolve into the modern naturist movement, striving for body acceptance and freedom. The movement faced challenges and political opposition, ultimately leading to the establishment of various nudist organizations and resorts, which still exist today.
