"In her engaging analysis of women's dress in the 1920s, Angela
Latham is the first analyst in recent times to address at any
length the important issue of the meaning of the flapper for the
United States. Drawing her information from conservative moralists,
feminists, and men and women of the stage, Latham plumbs the age's
agendas regarding women's clothing and their bodies."--Lois W.
Banner, Professor, History and Gender Studies, University of
Southern California
