Einav Rabinovitch-Fox examines how clothes empowered women, and particularly women barred from positions of influence due to race or class. Moving from 1890s shirtwaists through the miniskirts and unisex styles of the 1970s, Rabinovitch-Fox shows how the rise of mass media culture made fashion a vehicle for women to assert claims over their bodies, femininity, and social roles. She also highlights how trends in women's sartorial practices expressed ideas of independence and equality. As women employed new clothing styles, they expanded feminist activism beyond formal organizations and movements and reclaimed fashion as a realm of pleasure, power, and feminist consciousness. A fascinating account of clothing as an everyday feminist practice, Dressed for Freedom brings fashion into discussions of American feminism during the long twentieth century"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Women's clothing $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Fashion $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Feminists $x Clothing $z United States. 650 0 $a Feminism $z United States. 830 0 $a Women, gender, and sexuality in American history ; $v 148. 941 $a 2 952 $l PGAX715 $d 20221107114810.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211125010113.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=59EC53AE4DBD11ECA59157B93EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
