Book synopsis

Material Strategies brings together scholars from different disciplines to explore what dress and textiles can tell us about gender history. * Broad in scope -- covers women, men, social groupings and nations from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. * Rich in detail -- incorporates illustrations that provide visual evidence for gendered strategies of dress. * Combines perspectives from design and textile history, business history, cultural anthropology, social history, art history and cultural history. * Considers 'material strategies' in relation to production and consumption, the public and the private, the body and sexuality, and national identity. * Written in a jargon--free style, making it accessible to readers from a wide range of backgrounds.
