    I've seen a few illustrations from the 18th century showing a woman with a monocle, but it would have been an older woman, and probably an unconventional one.

    Some famous women have worn a monacle but more as an eccentricity ,I believe.

    Women tended more toward the Pinz Nez.

    January 1, 1930, Life Magazine's cover featured a beautiful woman wearing a monacle.

    I seem to recall either that literary lemon Radclyffe Hall or her wifey Una Troubridge wearing one in a photograph.

    They also became popular among the stylish Lesbian circles in the early part of the 20th Century..

    I've seen old pictures of women wearing them too. Gauging by the way they were dressed I would say they were women of wealth though. +5
