{"product_id":"dressed-for-freedom-einav-rabinovitch-fox-9780252044014","title":"Dressed for Freedom: The Fashionable Politics of American Feminism","description":"Often condemned as a form of oppression, fashion could and did allow women to express modern gender identities and promote feminist ideas. 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. \u003cp\u003eA fascinating account of clothing as an everyday feminist practice, \u003ci\u003eDressed for Freedom\u003c\/i\u003e brings fashion into discussions of American feminism during the long twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Einav Rabinovitch-Fox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252044010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252044014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022","brand":"Einav Rabinovitch-Fox","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993717866751,"sku":"9780252044014","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da33210f-5e59-4aca-825e-175f08d6f3c0.jpg?v=1683325908","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dressed-for-freedom-einav-rabinovitch-fox-9780252044014","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
