Reviews

"Using excellent sources and inspiration from a range of disciplines, Margaret Maynard is able to build another major step in our understanding of current developments in 'world' dress, global dress and its manufacture and consumption. Her study of the political use of dress was especially fresh--as indeed is her text on the well worn topic of hair and headress."-- Lou Taylor, University of Brighton
