Dressed for Freedom: The Politics of Fashion in American History

Shaker Author and CWRU History Professor Einav Rabinovitch-Fox discusses her recent book Dressed for Freedom: The Fashionable Politics of American Feminism by examining how fashion became a tool to express and challenge gender, race, and class identities; the importance of appearance in struggles for freedom and equality; and how women from suffragists to today's politicians have used clothing to advance political agendas.
