Reducing Bodies: Mass Culture and the Female Figure in Postwar America
Matelski, Elizabeth M. (Marquette University, USA)
Reducing Bodies: Mass Culture and the Female Figure in Postwar America explores the ways in which women in the years following World War II refashioned their bodies – through reducing diets, exercise, and plastic surgery – and asks what insights these changing beauty standards can offer into gender dynamics in postwar America.
