Dress as a Metaphor - British Female Fashion and Social Change in the 20th Century.: Transatlantic Studies in British and North American Culture

Katarzyna Kociolek

This book traces the interconnectedness of women¿s sartorial practices and social change in 20th-century Britain. Based on a wide range of cultural texts, which include literary works, magazines, posters, advertisements and political cartoons, this study endeavours to prove that due to the metaphorical function of clothing, womenswear imparted significant information about women¿s positions in society during transformative historical moments.
