Suffragists and soldiers marched in skirts; the heroines of the Civil Rights Movement took a stand in skirts. Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe revolutionized modern art and Marie Curie won two Nobel Prizes in skirts. Skirts looks at the history of twentieth-century womenswear through the lens of game-changing styles like the Little Black Dress and the Bar Suit, as well as more obscure innovations like the Taxi dress or the Popover dress, which came with a matching potholder. These influential garments illuminate the times in which they were first worn-and the women who wore them-while continuing to shape contemporary fashion and even opening the door for a genderfluid future of skirts. At once an authoritative work of history and a delightfully entertaining romp through decades of fashion, Skirts charts the changing fortunes, freedoms, and aspirations of women themselves"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Skirts $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Clothing and dress $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Femininity $x In popular culture. 650 0 $a Women $x Social conditions $y 20th century. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Social History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a DESIGN / Fashion & Accessories. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 7 952 $l XWPC787 $d 20240425010219.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207014938.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024808.0 952 $l TRPE062 $d 20221230010624.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20221227010834.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20221206012504.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20221202010535.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0EE4A9E8720F11EDB6E4AA0447ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
