About this product
Product Information
How do we understand glamour? Has it empowered women or turned them into objects? Once associated with modernity and the cutting edge, is it entirely bound up with nostalgia and tradition? This unique and fascinating book tells the story of glamour. It explores the changing meanings of the word, its relationship to femininity and fashion, and its place in twentieth century social history. Using a rich variety of sources - from women's magazines and film to social surveys and life histories - Carol Dyhouse examines with wit and insight the history and meaning of costume, cosmetics, perfume and fur. Dyhouse disentangles some of the arguments surrounding femininity, appearance and power, directly addressing feminist concerns. The book explores historical contexts in which glamour served as an expression of desire in women and an assertion of entitlement to the pleasures of affluence, finally arguing that glamour can't simply be dismissed as oppressive, or as male fantasy, but can carry celebratory meanings for women.

- 1***1 (606)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAmazing seller could not believe how speedy their postage was . First time in purchasing secondhand books & it was done with a lot of trepidation as I'm very fussy with how books look and how they have been treated , this seller described them as being in good clean order and they very much were I'm very pleased to say. The asking price was also very good as when trying to buy this authors novels not only are they pretty expensive but also very hard to find, most places had sold out of all.
