{"product_id":"unsuitable-eleanor-medhurst-9781805266051","title":"Unsuitable: A History of Lesbian Fashion","description":"The way we dress can show or hide who we are; make us fit in, make us stand out, or make our own community. Yet \"lesbian fashion\" has been strangely overlooked. What secrets can it reveal about the lives and status of queer women through the ages? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe lesbian past is slippery: often deliberately hidden, edited or left unrecorded. \"Unsuitable\" restores to history the dazzlingly varied clothes worn by women who love women, from top hats to violet tiaras. This story spans centuries and countries, from \"Gentleman Jack\" in nineteenth-century Yorkshire and Queen Christina of seventeenth-century Sweden, to Paris modernism, genderqueer Berlin, butch\/femme bar culture and gay rights activists--via drag kings, \"Vogue\" editors and the Harlem Renaissance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is a kaleidoscope of the margins and the mainstream, celebrating trans lesbian style, Black lesbian style, and gender nonconformity. You don't have to be queer or fashionable to be enthralled by this hidden history. \"Unsuitable\" lights it up for the world to see, in all its finery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eleanor Medhurst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1805266055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805266051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hurst \u0026amp; Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Eleanor Medhurst","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437702656255,"sku":"9781805266051","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38718a75-e699-4aed-9ab3-6dc84ca2b36f.jpg?v=1777163501","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unsuitable-eleanor-medhurst-9781805266051","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
