sunbonnets
Wide-brimmed face shields
Sunbonnets are wide-brimmed bonnets with a projecting front and fabric extending down the back to shield the face and neck from the sun.
Associated with rural women and children in 19th-century America, they evoke pioneer life and agricultural work: The girl in the sunbonnet helped her mother hang laundry.
