Glamour

Women, History, Feminism

Professor Carol Dyhouse

Explore the world of glamour in this lavishly illustrated book, spanning from early Hollywood to Madonna. Author Carol Dyhouse unpacks the changing nature of glamour, its relationship to femininity and fashion, and its role in twentieth century social history. With wit and insight, Dyhouse untangles the debates surrounding appearance and power, and directly addresses feminist concerns. Discover the history and meaning of costume, cosmetics, perfume, and fur, and learn why glamour is a celebratory and liberating expression of desire and entitlement for women.
