Concentrating on the struggle of female hat-makers to claim their social place, it investigates how they were influenced by changing attitudes towards women in the workplace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on diaries, etiquette books, trade journals and contemporary literature, Stewart illustrates how making hats became big business, but milliners' working conditions failed to improve. Taking the reader from the Industrial Revolution of the 1760s to the sexual revolution of the 1960s, and from Belle Epoque feathers to elegant cloches and Jackie Kennedy's pillbox hat, the book offers a new insight into the rise and fall of a fashionable industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeautifully illustrated and packed with original research, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Milliners and their World\u003c\/i\u003eblends fashion history and anthropology to tell the forgotten stories of the women behind some of the most iconic hats of the last three centuries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nadine Stewart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350203173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350203174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.51d","brand":"Nadine Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071394705663,"sku":"9781350203174","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f30a09c4-8e52-4d55-8704-58c861185692.jpg?v=1685435838","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-milliners-and-their-world-nadine-stewart-9781350203174","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
