Once associated with modernity and the cutting edge, is it entirely bound up with nostalgia and tradition? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis unique and fascinating book tells the story of glamour. It explores the changing meanings of the word, its relationship to femininity and fashion, and its place in twentieth century social history. Using a rich variety of sources - from women's magazines and film to social surveys and life histories - Carol Dyhouse examines with wit and insight the history and meaning of costume, cosmetics, perfume and fur. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDyhouse disentangles some of the arguments surrounding femininity, appearance and power, directly addressing feminist concerns. The book explores historical contexts in which glamour served as an expression of desire in women and an assertion of entitlement to the pleasures of affluence, finally arguing that glamour can't simply be dismissed as oppressive, or as male fantasy, but can carry celebratory meanings for women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carol Dyhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184813861X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848138612\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 02\/10\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Carol Dyhouse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978707206399,"sku":"9781848138612","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_85c093f0-fcd2-448c-a92e-cceaccacf956.jpg?v=1683242711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/glamour-professor-carol-dyhouse-9781848138612","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
