She traces the commercial context in which they operated, focusing on the processes of commodification, fetishization, and revisions of gender identity. Mackie's study makes clear that fashion publications, far from being commentaries on passing trends, assumed a leading role in defining women's legitimate sphere of activities as well as in the development of commerce as recreation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erin MacKie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0801872537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780801872532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Johns Hopkins University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 5.96w x 0.77d","brand":"Erin MacKie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47072022888703,"sku":"9780801872532","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e440a426-1a3a-4f64-a55e-dc2b0fa387ed.jpg?v=1753415582","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/market-a-la-mode-erin-mackie-9780801872532","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
