The study examines the sartorial production of feminine identities in 20th-century Britain.Cognitive metaphor theory is applied to demostrate the importance of clothing in public assertion of gender identities.
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.
