Abstract

For historians and general readers, Rabinovitch-Fox convincingly shows that fashion was far more significant to the development of feminism in the twentieth century than previously recognized. But Rabinovitch-Fox pushes this traditional image of the Gibson Girl further by exploring how Black women adopted the fashion. Over the course of five chapters, Rabinovitch-Fox expands on well-known tropes of American feminists: the New Woman, suffragists, flappers, the postwar working woman, and the radical feminists of the 1960s and 1970s.
