Focusing on the sociological implications of clothing, the book presents a feminist analysis of women's attire in modern society. It delves into the social functions and symbolic meanings of clothing within patriarchal contexts, while also discussing principles of ethical clothing design. The introduction by Hill and Deegan contextualizes Gilman's insights within her broader sociological framework, connecting them to themes explored in her other writings. This work, originally serialized in 1915, offers a unique perspective on the intersection of fashion and feminism.
