Abstract

'Women in pants' charts an almost forgotten revolution in clothing that radically altered modern society. Featuring a remarkable collection of vintage photographs from the 1850s to the 1920s and tracing a fascinating slice of social history, the book documents many women who deviated from the strict conventions of the time by shedding their tight corsets, bustles, and long skirts in favor of the more rational attire of bloomers, knickers, trousers, and pants. Dress reformers, farmers, miners, ranchers, mountaineers, performers, and sportswomen openly wore pants. Others, resisting the domestic roles of wife and mother, disguised themselves as men to secure higher-paying jobs, join the military, or engage in relationships with other women without interference. And scores of women played with gender identity by cross-dressing for the camera.

Abstract

"Long before the mid-nineteenth century, hundreds, if not thousands of people were constantly moving between the United States and British North America and Leghorn, Genoa, Naples, Rome, Sicily, Piedmont, Lombardy, Venice and Trieste. Predominantly traders, sailors, transient workers, Catholic priests and seminarians, this group relied on the exchange of goods across the Atlantic to solidify transatlantic relations; during this period, stories about the New World passed between travellers through word of mouth and letter writing. Based on a vast and in-depth examination of newly-found personal and commercial correspondence, Blurred Nationalities is a major addition to the study of transatlantic mobility and migration between North America and the Italian peninsula. Blurred Nationalities challenges the idea that the level of national origin, for instance, Italianness, comprises the most only significant feature of this group's identity, revealing the multifaceted personalities of the people involved in these exchanges."--
