It's a trend that's gone in and out of style historically - I was just reading a book set in the days of Louis XIV and the (upperclass) bride was having all her body hair plucked, and I remember reading something about it in Roman times too

If you look at Classical Greek statues of women, you'll note that they are "bare." A respectable Greek woman was supposed to have a hairless body.

A repsectable rich woman, surely - I can't imagine a respectable poor one would have the time.
