Beschreibung:
Divided into three sections on cosmetics, clothes and hairstyling, this book explores how early modern women regarded beauty culture and in what ways skin, clothes and hair could be used to represent racial, class and gender identities, and to convey political, religious and philosophical ideals.
This book considers cosmetics, clothing and hairstyles in manuscript and printed texts by women in early modern England.
