Reviews
A history no college-level fashion collection should be without. Midwest Book Review 2008 Scholarly and deeply empirical, the book's detail is wonderful. -- Caroline Evans American Historical Review This is... a very valuable book. Its insights into interwar culture and business practices will be useful for all historians of the period. -- Denise Davidson Journal of Modern History 2010 This is a solid addition to scholarly knowledge on multiple topics. Stewart clearly demonstrates the importance of her subject and has mined her sources to good effect. -- John S. Hill Canadian Journal of History 2010
