Windows in Time: Fashion Critique and Misogyny in the 19th Century

This talk examines the intersection of fashion, satirical illustration, cultural biases, and misogyny in the 19th century, and how these forces shaped our modern stereotype of the 19th-century woman. From corsets and hoop skirts to bustles and elaborate hairstyles, there was something worthy of mockery throughout the century. Speaker Cassidy Hausmann-Mason will explore the truth behind the trends and examine gender conversations of the era.
