Reviews
"Peering through a gendered lens, Clutario exposes the complex roles Filipinas played within empire and the fraught establishment of the Philippine Commonwealth. . . . Writing about the wives of politicians, embroiderers, beauty queens, and socialites, Clutario renders beauty as a complex weapon. In the hands of her Filipina subjects, it is deployed with both tenderness and aggression." -- Alice Sarmiento * Rappler *
"A unique book that delivers fresh insights into the American colonial period in the Philippines through the politics of fashion and beauty regimens."
