I found this book extremely helpful in teaching a class in women's history. In it I found the only picture I have ever seen of women on covered wagons across the plains in pantaloons (or bloomers). That seemed the most practical to me for that mode of travel and I was shocked that I couldn't find more evidence of that. I recommend this book to anyone interested in dress reform particularly of the 19th century when suffragists wore bloomers. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
By the early nineteenth century clear definitions had developed regarding how American women and men were supposed to appear in public and how they were meant to lead their lives. As men's style of dress moved from the ornate to the moderate, women's fashions continued to be decorative and physically restrictive. In Pantaloons and Power, Gayle V. Fischer depicts how the reformers' denouncement of conventional dress highlighted the role of clothing in the struggle of power relations between the sexes. Wearing pantaloons was considered a subversive act and was often met with social ostracism. This carefully researched interdisciplinary study successfully combines the fields of costume history, women's history, material culture, and social history to tell the story of one highly charged dress reform and its resonance in nineteenth-century society.
