In the book "Gentleman Prefer Blondes", written by Anita Loos talks about a blonde named Lorelei and uses first person to write about her everyday life. In the book, Lorelei is a blonde that got away with everything in the early 1900s. The book mentioned how she killed someone and she got away with it just because the judges liked her. It also talks about how she gets men to buy her expensive stuff such as tiaras and diamond rings. Blondes seem to get a lot of attention in the early 1900s and this is what Lorelei used to get what she wanted. On the opposite side, her friend Dorothy is not so lucky to be born with blonde hair, and the men that Dorothy dates, according to Lorelei, are all middle class and "not good enough" for her. Lorelei only cared about the benefit she could get out of guys. But I do agree that hair color does define a person's standing in society.
