Fashioning Modern Femininity in the Twentieth Century
Reviews with the most likes.
I am not usually one for anything related to fashion. While Skirts is a history and the evolvement of women's wear...it is also about the struggle of women with regard to their femininity and place in a man's world. My favorite portion of this was when the author described the tennis clothing “war”. I laughed a few times during this section.
I received and E-ARC for this one and will definitely need to check out the physical. I missed all of the beautiful pictures this is said to have. Despite not having these visuals, this was a very interesting and well done book. There was so much I didn't know about the history of women's clothing, and really enjoyed this one.
I appreciate St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the review copy. All opinions are my own.
