AHA member Einav Rabinovitch-Fox (Case Western Reserve Univ.) has published Dressed For Freedom: The Fashionable Politics of American Feminism (Univ. of Illinois Press). The book examines the complex relationship of fashion and feminism during the long 20th century, and how women used clothing and appearance to challenge and redefine gender, race, and class identities, as well as to promote feminist agendas, turning fashion into everyday feminist practice.
