DRESS FEMINISM AND NEW WOMAN WRITING - CLAIRE ALLEN-JOHNSTONE - 2026

Today on #FashionDay, learn how women harnessed the power of sartorial politics in "Dress, Feminism, and New Woman Writing." "This fascinating book offers an entirely new way of thinking about the New Woman—as she saw the world and the world saw her. Choice of dress was crucial to women's independence at the end of the nineteenth century—and we still have much to learn from the pioneering women writers who understood just what was at stake in sartorial politics. This illuminating and thought-provoking study will change the way you think about New Woman fiction." —Fiona Stafford, Professor of English Language and Literature, University of Oxford https://www.cambriapress.com/DressFeminismNewWomanWriting
