This volume offers an unprecedented look at the everyday clothing of American women across two centuries, spanning from Girl Scout uniforms to psychedelic microminis, business suits, and fast-food worker attire. It highlights how women from diverse backgrounds have lived, worked, and dressed, focusing on ordinary garments often neglected in fashion histories. Featuring over 300 items from the Smith College Historic Clothing Collection, the book traces the evolution of women's roles through the lens of dress.
