Synopsis
Humorous and informative, this guide chronicles the history of undergarments, from Queen Victoria and the Quaker reformer Amelia Bloomer to the g-string. Part social history and accompanied by a large helping of humor, irreverence, and evocative illustrations, this intimate look at underwear shows how the developments in knickers reflect the blooming of women’s rights. As entertaining as it is informative, this record weaves humor and history to cast new light on the role underwear has played throughout time.
