Description
Trappings: Stories of Women, Power and Clothing
What do you wear that makes
you feel powerful? How about the woman next to you at the bank? In line with
you at the store? Think about your mother. What would she put on to reveal her
power source to the world? These are the questions that inspired Tiffany Ludwig
and Renee Piechocki to embark on a n interview journey across the United
States. Over a period of six years, they talked with more than 500 women and
girls, ages four through ninety-two, who ranged from office workers to drag
kins, stay at home moms to attorneys, fashion industry executives to elected
officials and students to cowgirls.
It is these women's
sensitive, funny, and always revealing thoughts that are at the heart of
Trappings--a book that although begins with a question about clothing is not
about fashion at all. Here, clothing is simply a vehicle to access a larger
dialogue about a diverse range of issues women face related to power and
identity, including what expectations and limitations are placed upon them by
their affiliation with a specific gender, culture, race, class, or profession.
