by Vanessa Friedman, features more than 300 pictures showing women
at work across the world – and examines their evolving roles, from
domestic servants to astronauts" The Guardian
"This fascinating book chronicles women’s working outfits across
history, from the now-outdated (a uniform for selling cigarettes in
the cinema), to the interesting and unexpected. You’ll find such
familiar faces as Amelia Earhart and Michelle Obama, as well as
some real grit in the form of ordinary working women." Daily
Mail
"The Golden Globes may have signalled a change in how we report on
the red carpet, but women’s wardrobes have always meant more than
designer labels and risqué lines. Dress Like a Woman: Working Women
and What They Wore explores the changes in fashion that reflected
the evolution of women’s roles over the last century, with 300
photographs of females in various jobs, an introduction by The New
York Times fashion director Vanessa Friedman, and a foreword by
feminist icon Roxane Gay." Image magazine, Ireland
"What does it mean to dress 'like a woman'? For a long time
(read: too long) the answer was dictated by men. Nowadays, that's
changing, albeit with a few exceptions, with women able to choose
what they wear to work based on factors like (shock, horror)
comfort and style. This evolution is explored in new book. Dress
Like A Woman: Working Women And What They Wore. As the 300
photographs show, it means Malala Yousafzai in her salwar kameez,
Michelle Obama's power dresses, and the overalls of a million
female mechanics, engineers and needleworkers. The point being?
That dressing like a woman means dressing however said woman
pleases." Red Magazine
"What does it mean to #DressLikeAWoman? Roxanne Gay and Vanessa
Friedman's new book, Dress Like A Woman - with 300 images of female
firefighters, health workers and astronauts - shows that there's no
easy answer.' Harpers Bazaar
"Clothes are fun, obviously, but they're fascinating, too. The way
women have dressed through time has reflected economics, politics,
and the way women's roles have changed. I am so glad someone has
taken the time to put all this information in one book, and I can't
wait to read it and share it." The Pool
"With introductions by Vanessa Friedman and Roxane Gay, this photo
book explores the history of female power dressing across different
classes, cultures, and careers." InStyle
"Three hundred photos of working women, from astronauts to Amelia
Earhart: we heart Dress Like a Woman: Working Women and What They
Wore by Roxane Gay and Vanessa Friedman." Irish Tatler
“a sprawling collection of photos that capture celebrated
looks…unusual uniforms…and historically specific tools” New York
Magazine
"From astronaut to surgeon, 'Dress Like a Woman: Working Women and
What They Wore' (Abrams Image, £18.99) illustrates women's changing
roles over the past century. Among the 300 photographs are famous
faces, but it's the images of ordinary women that are the most
fascinating, from a teacher in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
holding a baby as she points to a blackboard (1989) to a woman
helping to construct a dive bomber in Tennessee (1943)." i
