A collection that has been passed down through three generations of women: a chunky sixties-era toggle from a favourite coat, three tiny pearl buttons from her mother's first dress after she was adopted as a baby, a jet button from a time of Victorian mourning. Each button tells a story. 'The Button Box' traces the story of women at home and in work from pre-First World War domesticity, through the first clerical girls in silk blouses, to the delights of beading and glamour in the thirties to short skirts and sexual liberation in the sixties. 600 10 $a Knight, Lynn, $d 1958- $x Family. 650 0 $a Buttons $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Women's clothing $x History. $z Great Britain $x History. 650 7 $a Knopf $2 gnd 941 $a 1 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20180118010040.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3A99FD94FC1D11E7842A9F4C97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
