Material Fictions of Desire
In this article I read the representation of fashion in a selection of women's writings as instances of how women writers communicate with their readership, if not constitute an implied readership with those who share an understanding of the complexities of fashion and its various meanings in everyday life. This process of communication constitutes a mode of “transactional reading,” a way of reading objects in everyday life in order to negotiate …
