With the ravages of the illness widely regarded as conferring beauty on the sufferer, it became commonplace to regard tuberculosis as a positive affliction, one to be emulated in both beauty practices and dress. While medical writers of the time believed that the fashionable way of life of many women actually rendered them susceptible to the disease, Carolyn A. Day investigates the deliberate and widespread flouting of admonitions against these fashion practices in the pursuit of beauty. Through an exploration of contemporary social trends and medical advice revealed in medical writing, literature and personal papers, Consumptive Chic uncovers the intimate relationship between fashionable women's clothing and medical understandings of the illness. Illustrated with over 40 full color fashion plates, caricatures, medical images, and photographs of original garments, this is a compelling story of the complex connections between the body, beauty, and disease --and the rise of tubercular chic"--Back cover. 650 0 $a Tuberculosis $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Tuberculosis $x History. 650 0 $a Clothing and dress $x History. $x History. 650 12 $a Tuberculosis $x history. 650 12 $a Popular Culture. 650 22 $a Beauty Culture $x history. 650 22 $a Clothing $x history. 650 22 $a Medicine in the Arts $x history. 650 22 $a Attitude to Death $x ethnology. 650 22 $a History, 18th Century. 650 22 $a History, 19th Century. 650 7 $a DESIGN / Fashion & Accessories. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a DESIGN / Textile & Costume. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / Great Britain. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Modern / 18th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a MEDICAL / History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Health and Fitness. $2 eflch 650 7 $a Clothing and dress $x Health aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864696 650 7 $a Tuberculosis. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01158499 650 7 $a Tuberculosis $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01158544 650 7 $a Damenmode $2 gnd 650 7 $a Krankheit $2 gnd 650 7 $a Mode $2 gnd 650 7 $a SchoÌnheit $2 gnd 650 7 $a SchoÌnheitsideal $2 gnd 650 7 $a Tuberkulose $2 gnd 650 7 $a Health and Wellbeing. $2 ukslc 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 4 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012025725.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331013530.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20190524010539.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190129010721.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B27A0C3E239311E9A16D344A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
