Cindy Sherman in a New Millennium
If feminism and the fashion industry were once seen as adversaries, given how the strictures of Simone de Beauvoir in The Second Sex (1949) permeated so much of second-wave feminism , a consideration of ‘fashion’ is now central to contemporary feminist scholarship.

A new, unacknowledged “system” of design and promotion has emerged in t…

Although many women, as Toril Moi (2010) has reminded us, have stressed that this particular book actually changed their lives in the 1950s, in later years…
