- Description
- This book discusses the shifting perceptions of female beauty, concentrating on the period from about 1540 to 1940. It begins with the Renaissance, when a renewed emphasis on the individual was reflected in the celebration of beauty in the portraits of the day. The fluid, sensual lines of the Baroque period initiated a shift toward a more 'natural' look, giving way in the 18th century to a more stylized and artificial face, a mask of ideal beauty. By the late 19th century, commercial beauty preparations had become more readily available, leading to new technological developments within the beauty industry in the early 20th century. Beauty salons and the wider availability of cosmetics revolutionized the way women saw themselves.

- Description
- Special consideration in this volume is given to gender issues arising during periods when upheaval challenged colonial regimes, which often resulted in decolonization and independence. Chapters also reveal how former colonies transitioned into ‘nations,’ along with transnational dynamics that took place among modern states. A common thread woven through each article is the matter of precisely who it was that deserved to be treated and recognized as fully human in an era of imperial exchanges and ongoing capitalist globalization. Authors describe hemes as labour, commodities, fashion, mobility, and activism while exploring the dynamics of empire in destinations ranging from Africa and the Americas to Europe and Asia. .Originally published as Gender & History Volume 26 Issue 3

- Description
- Britain witnessed huge changes between 1700 and 1850, as society adapted to unrecedented urbanization, commercialization, industrialization, imperial expansion and much more. this volume looks specifically at British women's experiences in the context of these major social, economic and cultural shifts. The chapters speak not of one overarching female historical experience, but of many experiences, of significant long-term continuities and of complex developments and changes. They speak, in particular, of tensions and opportunities, as notions of women and their place in society were examined and debated, and boundaries were extended or redrawn.

- Description
- This book reveals the clothing and fashion of the world described in Jane Austen's beloved books, focusing on the Regency period between the years 1795 and 1825. During this period, accelerated change saw Britain's turbulent entry into the modern age, and clothing reflected these transformations. The author takes the reader through the social and cultural spheres of home, village, countryside, and cities, into the wider national and global realms, exploring the varied ways people dressed to inhabit these environments. . .Jane Austen's observant fictional writings, as well as her letters, provide the entry point for examining the Regency age's rich complexity of fashion, dress, and textiles for men and women in their contemporary contexts, illustrated with paintings, drawings, historic garments, and fashion plates, and leads to an understanding of the history of one of Britain's most distinctive fashion eras.

- Description
- The eighteenth century is recognized as a complex period of dramatic epistemic shifts that would have profound effects on the modern world. This collection of essays addresses women's activities as patrons and as 'patronized' artists over the course of the century. Some essays are concerned with how women's involvement in the arts allowed them to fashion identities for themselves (whether national, political, religious, intellectual, artistic, or gender-based) and how such self-fashioning in turn enabled them to negotiate or intervene in the public domains of culture and politics where 'The Woman Question' was so hotly debated. Other essays examine how men's patronage of women also served as a vehicle for self-fashioning for both artist and sponsor. Artists and patrons discussed include: Carriera: Queen Lovisa Ulrike and Chardin: the Bourbon Princesses Mlle Clermont, Mme Adélaïde and Nattier: the Duchess of Osuna and Goya: Marie-Antoinette and Vigée-Lebrun: Labille-Guiard: Queen Carolina of Naples, Prince Stanislaus Poniatowski of Poland and Kauffman: David and his students, Mesdames Benoist, Lavoisier and Mongez.

- Description
- Women first appeared on the legitimate stage in England following the Restoration in 1660, heralding a major change in British theater. This book explores the relationship between art, gender, and the English theater in the 18th century. The book combines both well-known and seldom-seen portraits with essays that explore the ways that actresses used portraiture to enhance their reputations, deflect scandal, and increase their popularity and professional status. The featured works include paintings by major artists such as Johann Zoffany, Joshua Reynolds, Thomas Gainsborough, and Thomas Lawrence. Created to accompany the National Portrait Gallery’s exhibition of the same name, The book provides a spectacle of femininity, fashion, and theatricality from Nell Gwyn to Sarah Siddons, during a period when portraiture became an important vehicle for the expression of concerns about female sexuality, social status, decorum, gender, and celebrity. The authors also chart the commercialization of the spectacle of the actress, as well as the connections between the 18th-century “star system” and modern celebrity culture

- Description
- The essays explore women's consumption, particularly as it relates to fashion and design, from a cross-cultural perspective and in different times. The historically specific case studies build upon the idea that consumption, as a form of meaning making, is key to the construction of gendered, classed, and national identities.

- Description
- Focusing on images of or produced by well-to-do nineteenth-century European women, this volume explores genteel femininity as resistant to easy codification to the public. The essays in the book demonstrate that definitions of both femininity and the public were mutually defining and constantly shifting. The essays also consider works in a range of media from fashion prints and paintings to private journals and architectural designs, facilitating an analysis of femininity in public across the cultural production of the period. Various European centers, including Madrid, Florence, Paris, Brittany, Berlin and London, emerge as crucial sites of production for genteel femininity, providing a long-overdue rethinking of modern femininity in the public sphere.
